SimpLite is free for any personal use at home or at work. If you use SimpLite for work, for instance
to chat with colleagues, please consider getting a SimpPro license. Also, if using Simp is part of
corporate policies, the company must get enough SimpPro licenses.
More information about SimpPro is available here.
Important:
If you are using an HTTP proxy, it must be configured to allow outgoing
CONNECT connections. If not, SimpLite-Yahoo will not work.
WARNING: SimpLite 2.1.7b3 is the only version compatible with recent
changes in Yahoo! Messenger servers. The previous release, 2.1.3, can not encrypt conversations any longer.
It has thus been removed from our download page.
The following issues are also addressed by the beta version:
- Yahoo! Messenger patch not required any longer
- Fix for unencrypted conversations caused by recent changes in Yahoo! servers
- SimpLite 2.1.7b3 for Yahoo! experimental version:
To verify signature for our packages, use our
PGP key.
If you do not wish to verify signatures, just ignore the .SIG files and use the .MSI file to install Simp.
If your system doesn't recognize MSI files, please install:
"Microsoft Windows Installer 2.0 for Windows 9x/Me" or
"Microsoft Windows Installer 2.0 for Windows NT4/2000".
