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.
Most recent versions of the official Yahoo! Messenger client must be patched in order to interact with Simp.
Apply the patch below to fix the problem. Please note that you may have to download and install a new patch from this
page after any upgrade of the Yahoo! Messenger client.
SimpLite-Yahoo! 2.1 is not compatible with older versions of SimpLite-Yahoo! or SimpPro, such as 2.0 versions. If your
contacts are still using Simp 2.0, please advise them to update.
