[cisco-voip] M$ Lync and Jabber installed on same PC

[Mike Wilusz (miwilusz)]

I believe the MS Office APIs only allow for a single applications to register for Click-to-X/Presence Bubbles within applications.  I've seen Jabber take over if Lync was already installed, or Lync take over if Jabber is installed.  Besides the Office integrations, the remainder of the functionality should be able to coexist without issue.

I had a customer last fall that ran both Lync and Jabber on same PC and didn’t report any issues.  I can ask them about Click to Dial.

I know I've run into issues installing Jabber on a PC that previously had LYNC installed and in order to get it to work we needed to uninstall Lync. If i remember correctly this was primarily because the Lync Hijacked the click to call APIs within Outlook (could be additional reasons as well). I'm fairly certain that I read that the two can not coexist together but I'm having a hard time finding that documentation now. I have a customer that is trying to Demo Jabber but actively uses Lync, they would like to be able to have both living in harmony on the same PC so they can demo Jabber without having to uninstall Lync. They are pretty adamant that they do not want to uninstall Lync unless they absolutely need to. Does anyone have a link to a doc that states this is or isn't supported.
TIA
Ted
