Lotus snuck a new Sametime package in 7, not announced well
Tags :Announcement
I know many enterprises have been looking
for ways to control licensing when using the free integrated client. If
the user installed Sametime Connect or tried a web meeting, that was a
license usage technically, and not covered in the free ones through integration.
The only way was to strip down the meeting services. Some technotes
even provided insight. Well Lotus has another product that I could
not find referenced anywhere except the Release
Notes for Domino 7 and Designer
Help for 7 until I stopped searching for IMLU and went for the whole string.
So read for yourself, IBM Lotus Instant Messaging Limited Use is
even found in the Sametime Install Guide for 7:
Limitations using Sametime Server with IMLU
If your Sametime Server is running the IBM
Lotus Instant Messaging Limited Use (IMLU) configuration, you are restricted
to Instant Messaging capabilities only. The Instant Messaging Web
Conferencing options are invalid. You will experience these limitations:
1. If you attempt to create any of the Instant Meetings options (audio,
video, shared and or collaboration) within Notes, the following error message
displays :
(picture removed since it was huge, but it said and I quote)
"Error: The meeting
can not be created due to the following error: An attempt to establish
a connection with the meeting server has failed
Please contact your system administrator."
2. Since Web Conferencing is not enabled on your Sametime server,
when an invitation to a Sametime meeting is sent to you*, you will not
be able to join. Instead, you should choose the Respond button from
the dialog box and notify the Initiator that you don't have the Web Conferencing
capabilities.
* A person connected to a fully enabled Web Conferencing Sametime Server
has the ability to include you on their Sametime meeting invitation.
