I actually like this Sametime 7.5 comment in the Release Notes, it makes sense in a way

Normally a Sametime server in the past would have the Connect client code laying around for anyone to download placed on the server upon installation.  Removing the download link only became a deterrent and not a measure to not have users install it.  Why would this be a concern?  Because you might be running in 'free' mode using the integrated components with the Notes client only.  A user connecting with the full client would be a license issue.  So in Sametime 7.5, whether on purpose or not, does not have the package available for download unless the administrator puts it there.


After you complete the installation of the IBM Lotus Sametime 7.5 Server release, you will need to copy the Sametime Connect 7.5 client installation files to the Sametime server. End users will be unable to download and install the client files until you perform this task.

The client installation files are posted on the IBM download site. There are 3 files, one for each client platform:

Windows:        sametime-connect-win-7.5.0.exe


So if you are looking for it when you install the Sametime server, you must grab it separately and then place it on the server yourself to make it available.  Cool..
