    Hi all,

    when trying to sign in to Skype for Business, I am told that signing in is not possible because of problems with the DNS-configuration (error code KB2566790). The DNS entries have been changed according to this article:

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/2566790/troubleshooting-skype-for-business-online-dns-configuration-issues-in

    Unfortunately, signing in still doesn't work. My company hasn't purchased Office 365 so I was wondering if that might be the reason for my problem.

    So please tell me if purchasing Office 365 will allow me to sign in, or if that's not the problem, tell me about possible solutions that you know.

    So long as you assigned SFB Online license, be it a non-expired trial license or a valid license, you should be able to sign in successfully as follow.

    If you want to sign in to Skype for Business online you will need an Office 365 tenant with a license that grants you SFB Online. Otherwise you wont be able to sign in.

    Adding DNS wont help if you don't have O365 tenant and SFB license assigned to your account

    Hi mvrenegor_e-motiontech,

    Would you please tell us which account did you use to sign in Skype for business?

    I am agree with others.

    If you use SFB online, you need to buy and assign license for the users then they can sign in to SFB online successfully.

    I will share a document about how to assign license for O365
