Sametime client: “CTI license is not available for you”.
Enhancing Call Functionality
In order for your users to more easily make calls using ShoreTel Communicator for Sametime, you need
to:
Correctly configure telephone numbers in LDAP. The telephone number field must exist in LDAP,
and the number must not contain spaces. ShoreTel Communicator for Sametime interprets a space
in the LDAP telephone number field as the start of a new number and therefore displays a single
number with a space as multiple contacts.
Encourage your users to specify their primary phone number using a Sametime geographic
location profile. ShoreTel Communicator for Sametime recognizes this number as the user’s
primary phone number, displaying it first in all contact lists.
Disable the duplicate Call icon. Duplicate Call icons may be displayed, confusing users as to
which icon to use to make a call. To disable the duplicate Call icon, add the following line to your
plugin_customization.ini file
com.ibm.collaboration.realtime.telephony.ui/hideTelephonyUI=True
