Understand the role of the default CWE application registration package
Use the default CWE application registration package in custom Lync 2013 automation applications to specify an extensibility tab application on the receiver side of a conversation.
Applies to: Lync 2013 | Lync Server 2013

Where to use a default package
If an incoming conversation has no context, you can specify a default package that starts when the conversation is accepted. For example, you might want to start a customer relationship management application with every incoming call, as in the following scenario.
John receives a telephone call on Lync 2013 from an important customer. When he answers, the most important data about the customer appears in his conversation window, including that his company just opened a high-priority support case. He answers the customer by name and immediately acknowledges the issue.
Specify a default package
You must use Install Registration to register context packages on a computer. To use a context package, register it with Lync 2013. For more information about installing and registering packages, see Register contextual conversation packages. Although multiple context packages can be installed on a computer, there is only one default package. To specify that a context package is the default, set the DefaultContextPackage registry key to 1.

A default package cannot be overridden at runtime by using an Microsoft.Lync.Model.Extensibility.ApplicationRegistration object. The default package CWE application starts with every new conversation, even when application logic specifies another install-time or runtime override application for a different extensibility tab in the conversation window. |
Understand when a default package starts
On the sender side, the default CWE application starts when the conversation window opens. On the receiving side, if a default context package is registered on the receiving computer, it starts. If another CWE application ID is specified by the sending computer and a matching application ID is found on the local computer, both CWE applications start.
