Hi, microsoft has deactivated Skype for older Mac operating systems like 10.6.8. this July 2017!! Unfortunately, I cannot upgrade, I need the older operating system for some applications. How can I use Skype again with 10.6.8? I have seen the post to change the Info.plist in Skype contents with 7.36 instead of 6.15, but with my Skype version this does not work: I can't change any listing because it says 'just read - not licensed'???
Thanks for any help
