What are the minimum supported Lync and Skype for Business client versions?

As of April 5, 2019:

The Windows Lync 2010 client has limited functionality because it cannot connect to Exchange Online. While it may be used, it is not recommended.

We strongly encourage any mobile users to install the Skype for Business client for their mobile devices and discontinue the use of any 'Lync' branded mobile clients.
Note: A fresh install of the Skype for Business or Lync client will need updates in order to get to the minimum version. Please run Windows Update or Office Update to install any relevant patches.

How do I check if I am running at least the minimum client version?

NOTE: There is an issue with displaying the correct version number in the Skype for Business versions of the Windows client.

What happens if I don't or can't upgrade?

In most cases, updates to this software should be getting installed automatically. One reason why we have instituted the minimum version blocking is that without that warning sign, ultimately some customers would never know that this automatic process is failing for their machine, leaving their personal work data and machines subject to unpatched security vulnerabilities and software bugs. If you aren't able to upgrade, it is likely that your machine has not been successfully updated for some time with likely more than just the Lync or Skype for Business software being significantly out of date.

The challenge for our instructions and documentation is that we cannot address how updates are handled in a customized way across all departments and colleges. If you are having problems updating your Lync or Skype for Business client, please contact your IT department for help updating your machine. If you aren't sure who that would be, please contact the Help Desk (244-7000) and they can locate them for you.

Windows clients and Mac 2011 clients that do not meet minimum version requirements will not be able to log in and will receive error messages similar to the following messages.
