Less than 100 days to go! End of Support for Office 2016 and Office 2019 on 14th October

Posted on

Support for Office 2016 and Office 2019 will end on October 14, 2025 and there will be no extension and no extended security updates.

All of your Office 2016 and Office 2019 apps will continue to function. However, you could expose yourself to serious and potentially harmful security risks.

 

What does this mean for my business?

  • Microsoft will no longer provide technical support, bug fixes, or security fixes for Office 2016 and Office 2019 vulnerabilities which may be subsequently reported or discovered. This includes security updates which can help protect your PC from harmful viruses, spyware, and other malicious software.
  • You’ll no longer receive Office 2016 and Office 2019 software updates from Microsoft Update.
  • You’ll no longer receive phone or chat technical support.
  • No further updates to support content will be provided and most online help content will be retired.

 

What do we need to do now?

We recommend you upgrade your old Office 2016 and Office 2019 licenses to Microsoft 365.

Microsoft 365 licenses are always eligible for the latest updates as long as you pay your subscription, and you can install your license on up to 5 PCs/Macs that you use.

Please contact your Sales contact to sort out your upgrade as soon as possible.
