I have heard of Skype accounts expiring but have not proven whether it becomes impossible to log into them. I have, however, proven that a Skype account, left alone long enough, will lose all of its profile information, like name, location, etc. I have been assuming that the account is gone when I see that happen.

I too, have an old Skype account which I didn't sign in for a year. I just tried to got my hand on it, and the account is still there. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Doug Lee" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 20, 2010 6:36 PM To: "screen access software with skype" <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Going away Skype accounts are deleted after a really long period of disuse, but I don't know how many months of disuse that requires. My guess is six or more. On Thu, May 20, 2010 at 11:43:34AM +0800, Cornelius wrote: No, Skype will still works fine even though you do not sign in for a long time.

I am currently still using skype 4.1. I want to update to 4.2 but I will be going away for three months soon. It's not worth updating before I go. I want to ask you guys if I don't use skype for all that period of time, will I lose it and have to install it all over again with all the contacts and everything? I don't have a laptop and I won't have access to a talking computer in Lebanon. I have blind friends there who have computers, but I don't think I will bother them with that. There is no reason for me to need skype there. Mostly I use skype to talk to my family and friends in Lebanon.
