Lotus Notes for Mac for OSX Yosemite 10.10 - need install .dmg

When Yosemite was released, Lotus Notes 9.0.1 stopped working. They released a patch that fixed the problem and the client is now working on one of my Macs.

However, if you already have Yosemite installed, and you want to install Lotus Notes from scratch, you get and error and the "old" install file will not load at all. You can't load the patch if the main file won't load first.

IBM has said they have a "Slipstream" file that contains the fix, but that file is not avail on the normal page. It says you have to be some kind of business partner to get it, which makes no sense since the patch was made widely avail.

Does anyone have the .dmg file that you can use to install Lotus Notes Client for Mac directly onto a machine running Yosemite?

MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Late 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

If they do, it would be illegal to give it to you. Contact IBM. This is not The Pirate Bay.

Thanks, KiltedTim, but did you even read my post. I highly doubt IBM would offer the notes client FREE with Mavericks, then offer a FREE patch for that FREE software so that those who upgrade to Yosemite can use it, but then not provide it for those trying to do a clean install.

I'm not suggesting that someone provide a free copy of something that is charged for or do anything illegal. IBM has always, and claims to still provide the Notes client at no charge. I had the thought that I am just not accessing it in the right place. If there is a link to purchase it, or a means to sign up, etc, that is what I'm looking for.
