Licensing & Active Software Maintenance: A Core Legal Asset
Article 32 of the GDPR explicitly mandates that data controllers and processors implement adequate technical and organizational measures to ensure data security, explicitly including security patches and software updates. In today's threat landscape, a legacy perpetual license is no longer enough if it lacks an active maintenance contract. Operating without updates leaves your infrastructure vulnerable to cybersecurity breaches and exposes your business to immediate legal non-compliance.

Understanding Next-Gen Licensing: CCB vs. CCX
* CCB (Complete Collaboration Business Edition): Required for every internal user accessing Domino services. It grants full access to messaging, collaboration, and custom enterprise apps, and natively includes premium modern tools like HCL Nomad for seamless web/mobile access without clients.
* CCX (Complete Collaboration for External Users): Designed specifically for external stakeholders like clients, suppliers, or partners interacting with your Domino environment. It provides a secure, cost-optimized, and controlled way to extend your business workflows to external users without paying for full commercial licenses.
