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.
