VentureBeat reports: 'If you're one of those users, all you'll need to do is download the new update,' the Skype team said in a blog post.

Microsoft said today that starting on March 1 people will no longer be able to sign in to version 7.16 of Skype for Window desktop and older versions, and version 7.18 of Skype for Mac and older versions thereof. If you're using an older, outdated version of Skype, you may want to consider updating soon.
