I consider this an important request for high UX with low TCO!

Agree, it is common that people use 2-3 yers old desktop plugin. Automatic updates would help a lot.
Alternatively the sever might have a minimum version of the client configured and warn the user whenever he or she uses an old version (via a pop up window or some icon decoration of the desktop connector)
For admins, it would be also nice to see somewhere which version of the plugin every user uses.

We are updating the desktop Plugin with our own Software Management Tool. Of course i have to download the current version manually to deploy it to the clients but it works!

While auto upgrade might be useful in small unmanaged deployments, customers who have implemented a managed desktop infrastructure with central software deployment would like to keep control about the installed version. It happened in the past, that a new update has broken a feature and a roll-back to the previous version was required (or a complete stop of deployment). The idea of enforcing a minimum version would be worth a separate idea/enhancement request.

I would add there are still issues even with the current plug-ins - especially the endless install, it thinks its not installed, install again of the Meetings plugin.
