The statement that Microsoft is "committed to supporting Skype for Business Server beyond October 14, 2025" is a little odd because the most current product, Skype for Business Server 2019, will fall out of support on that same date, according to this Microsoft lifecycle support page. Customers who wish to remain on-premises should plan to upgrade to Skype for Business Server 2019 as this version provides the furthest window for Mainstream Service, the smoothest upgrade to the "vNext" and the easiest path to migrate users to Teams in the future. Here's Microsoft's statement to that effect:Īt Ignite 2020, we announced plans for a version-less subscription for an on-premises solution we have been calling "vNext." We continue to evaluate customer needs for this opportunity and remain committed to supporting Skype for Business Server beyond October 14, 2025, but do not have additional details to share currently. Organizations using current Skype for Business Server products should plan to migrate to Skype for Business Server 2019 to be optimally positioned for a vNext upgrade, the announcement suggested. The announcement hinted that Microsoft is currently assessing customer demand for the subscription-only server product. Microsoft announced on Monday that it had no details to share about Skype for Business Server "vNext," which is a "subscription-only" version of the product designed for customer premises installations.
