Installing the new Sametime client
To upgrade the IBM® Sametime® Connect Client or Sametime Embedded Client, you can install the newer version directly over the existing version.
About this task
For detailed instructions on installing the Sametime Connect Client or Sametime Embedded Client, see Deploying the Sametime client to users.
Important:
Clients running the Sametime Unified Telephony plug-in from a release prior to V8.5.1 must uninstall the plug-in before upgrading the Sametime Connect Client because the plug-in is not compatible with newer releases. Remove the older plug-in using operating-system features such as Microsoft™ Windows™ Add/Remove Programs.
