Since when was Skype abandoned?
Few weeks ago when the year long "Skype is replacing Lync because Lync failed" initiative was suddenly abandoned and the business class Skype service cancelled and Lync rebranded to hide the fact that Skype was abandoned. Skype for Business is Lync, not Skype, and the business class Skype service we've been being marketed for quite some time is not coming now.

According to my O365 portal admin area, I have this software on my PC as well a the privilege to use it.
When I go to login it says to use your Sign-in address, not your Skype Name or Microsoft Account.
Where is this found?
You get it from the office portal. You need the Skype for bussiness download (formerly Lync) to use it. It is not the same as skype so you can't use the skype username. though you can add skype (and other) users once you install it.

I tried to login with the same user/pass I use to login to O365 online.
Rumour is pretty much nothing is working on SfB. It's just a more broken rebranding of Lync.
Yeah I've heard it not Skype - as Scott said, it's just Lync rebranded. That's sad!
My SfB got hung the other day,.. Enter TaskManager... the Executable still showed LYNC.exe....

I am using the Skype for Business software as it was part of my Office 365 download.
It appears that SfB wants me to use the [email protected] address, but then won't login using
[email protected] (office 365 user and admin) and [email protected] (o365 admin and email address created for the account 1.5 years ago) addresses.
I have tried using technobble.us\alex and tnbonline.onmicrosoft.com\Alexander as well.

Our work just switched over - now the Lync app is Skype for Business

Go into, Settings -> Tools -> Options -> Personal -> Advanced.
Change manual config to look like this:

The admin account shouldn't have a skype for business login, I believe it needs to have a mailbox on the account to work.
You should use the [email protected] format for it I believe
Have you tried [email protected]? -

If your DNS is setup right you don't need to do that.

Actually it was pretty seamless. The only minor issue was some people not appearing online the first day, but since then we've had no issues. Our IT folks at Webroot are pretty good so we rarely get badly treated (except for that one time I had to reseat some new RAM

True, that is the solution I have since I don't have access to the special DNS settings lync needs.

Using [email protected] as the sign-in address give the error
"Can't sign in to Skype for Business SfB could find a SfB server for technobabble.us."
If I use [email protected] for the sign-in address I am prompted for a password which I supply (can use it to log in to O365 webs-just tested it) and now the error is:
"Can't sign in to Skype for Business SfB The user name, password or domain appears to be incorrect.
According to my O365 my organizaional domains are: technobabble.us, and tnbonline.onmicrosoft.com

So do they use webroot AV internally?
Yup, we use the business version on all our machines. They have it nice and locked down so we can't mess with the settings or turn it off
Also they block access to Steam which I'm less happy about.
