How to get the HCL Mac Notes Client on macOS 26

I’ve written before that the HCL Mac Notes client (14.5) does not work correctly on macOS 26.

Now it is apparent that the problem is actually with the macOS 26, and I am told that HCL is trying to work around it.

In the meantime, I can confirm that if you update macOS 26 to 26.1 beta 3, everything works again.

SUPER IMPORTANT - Make sure you perform a clean shutdown of the Mac before attempting the upgrade to macOS 26.1, and DO NOT start the Notes client (after the clean shutdown) before update is complete. I have received reports that not following these steps can completely break the upgrade process and may require you to do an internet-based reinstall. Proceed with caution.

Good luck.
