You will need to insure that Skype is installed - the add-in uses Skype's installed .dlls

The tool adds a menu item "Call via Skype..." to the context menu when you click on a contact in Outlook.  It also adds a ribbon button to the contact object in Outlook as well.  You can click on one of the 'speed dial' buttons, i.e. a button in the Call Manager such as 'Home', and the add-in uses Skype to call the person's phone number.  If you're calling a regular number (not a Skype handle), Skype-out charges apply (a fee that Skype charges and paid to them). 

If you've imported your Outlook contacts into the Skype application, a Skype to Skype button will be enabled for anyone participating on Skype, and you can make a Skype to Skype call.
