A "live:xxxxx" ID is just another possible form of a Skype Name. A Skype Name, in any form, is the only unique identification of your Skype account. If you want to get
another Skype Name, then you would need to create a new Skype account. All new Skype accounts would have now a Skype Name in the form "live:.cid.xxxxxxxx". Your current Skype Name cannot be changed.
