Microsoft are pushing hard to get their customers away from on premise solutions such as Skype for Business Server and on to their cloud solution Office 365. For the moment Office 365 (Business orientated) and Skype (User orientated) exist as separate entities, but I wouldn’t be surprised if Microsoft decided to bring them together in the future.
As far as I can tell they still endorse the Desktop API for Skype but with a limited feature set: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA214/what-is-the-desktop-api
You can expect Microsoft to gradually phase out legacy software and APIs which they no longer publicly support.
Microsoft are promoting APIs for Skype for Business and Office 365 which they have invested heavily in: https://www.skype.com/en/developer/

About skypopen: I suspect they (M$) will retract support soon for the protocol/API used by mod_skypopen.
Don't seriously invest in it until situation will clarify, probably in Autumn...
6 concurrent call limit can be overridden in many ways, but I repeat, I would not counseil to seriously invest in it until Autumn.
I'm mod_skypopen author, btw.
If someone has more info, please step up and let us know.

Skype are telling me that it is no longer possible to receive calls to Skype names / addresses (as appose to Skype numbers) via SIP with Skype Connect. Does anyone know if this is the case? Their support is awful, but this would seem a bit of a backward step, and I don’t know whether to trust what I’m being told.
The alternative is Skypopen, of course. But I notice that it has a maximum of 6 concurrent calls. Is this for resource reasons? I’m thinking of building a server to handle all Skype to SIP calls for our customers, so would be interested to know if it’s possible to bypass the limit with a beefy spec…?
Thanks
