You have to have an installation of Lync that you log into - e.g. you work for a company who has Office365 and they enable you for Lync.   They give you credentials - then you log into the Lync client with these credentials and then you are able to communicate with people in your organization and to those organizations who have been abled to federate with your company.

In a nutshell, you cant just install the client and role with it like AIM or Yahoo or GTalk.   It's not a free service like that.  You'll need to contact your IT department for login assistance.

Hi Niketa shah,

 

Microsoft Lync Server is an enterprise real-time communications server. The Lync client is used to connect Lync Server. The Lync client is only meant to be used with a Lync Server (hosted in a corporate environment) or an account hosted on Office 365 with Lync functionality enabled. After you doing that you can create a user on Lync Server and login to Lync Server with Lync client.

 

For personal use, you can purchase an account from Lync Online:
