We have made an application which use the Lync 2013 Client SDK to interact with people depending on some status.

The IT department just asked me if they can allow the upgrade to the Skype for Business. Currently I can't find the Client SDK for the Skype for Business.

  1. Will my application using Lync 2013 Client SDK still works?
  2. If no, what have I to do? Is there a client SDK somewhere I didn't found? Or it's not existing anymore?

Skype for Business client is just a rebranded Lync 2013 client.\nIf you look at the \"About Skype for Business\" page in the client, it still calls itself Microsoft Lync 2013",

I have updated to Skype For Business and my current app on Lync 2013 works fine. It looks to support all the existing methods/APIs.\n\nUpdate:\nWhile the SDK works fine, if you are docking the new Lync (or SFB) conversation window you may require changes to your WPF code to support the new UI.\nWe had to move to previous UI (Lync) just to get the docking working since the customer is still on Lync.",
