Skype Room System app on Windows Store

Has anyone gotten this to work without being connected to actual Skype Room System hardware? https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/skype-room-system/9nblggh5799l?tduid=(722b996239de52420f43443c6fe23...

    The platform has changed significantly since this thread was started.  Old workarounds possible on early versions of the software do not apply now.  The software is only distributed and supported with a certified solution hardware from the various Microsoft partners.  It's not possible to advance the setup wizard otherwise, as the application specifically looks for the hardware IDs of the supported products.

We managed to hack a way to make it work, but it's not worth it and not adviseable.

The power is in the dock + software, not just one or the other.

Hi Loryan, for testing purposes, can you tell us how you exactly managed to bypass the SmartDock setup screen?

Thanks,
Marc
