Why is Microsoft doing this?
Office 2016 for Mac, like most Microsoft products, has a support lifecycle during which we provide new features, bug fixes, security fixes, and so on. This lifecycle typically lasts for 5 years from the date of the product’s initial release.
For more information about the support lifecycle for Microsoft products, see Microsoft Lifecycle Policy.
What are my options?
Although you'll still be able to use Office 2016 for Mac, you will no longer receive security updates and bug fixes after October 13, 2020. Upgrade to a newer version of Office so you can stay up to date with all the latest features, patches, and security updates.
Upgrade options include:
-
Recommended: Upgrade to Microsoft 365, the subscription version of Office that comes with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and other apps, depending on the plan you choose. With Microsoft 365, the apps are available on your computer and via browser; one subscription enables you to use them on both your Mac and PC. With Microsoft 365, you get the latest version of the apps and receive regular feature updates.
