There it says that Microsoft stopped adding cloud services enhancements to its older Office clients almost two years ago, on October 13, 2020. The quintessence of the rambling has been pointed out much more clearly by Redmond Magazine in the article Office 2016 and Office 2019 To Lose Microsoft 365 Connections Next Year. At the end, Microsoft has the audacity to add a long video transcript without period in the article – but ultimately rambles on the subject of connecting with Microsoft 365 services instead of clearly stating horse and rider with details in a few points. The Microsoft employee texts people in a video about all the things you can do with new versions of Microsoft 365. Jeremy Chapman from Microsoft doesn't give a real reason and details – the bottom line is that the article is even an imposition in my eyes.
Users will no longer be able to access Exchange Online (probably also SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business) from these Office versions or applications.
Don't wait until the last minute – now is a great time to upgrade. And Security updates for Office 2013 will end in April 2023. Importantly, Office 2016 & 2019 won't be supported for connecting to Microsoft 365 services, including Exchange Online, starting Oct 2023. The relevant passage in the above article reads: Many a company has hopped on Microsoft 365 and used Exchange Online, SharePoint Online and OneDrive for Business.īut those who have Microsoft Office 2016 and Microsoft Office 2019 in use will experience an unpleasant surprise from October 2023. Microsoft is promoting the move away from on-premises solutions to the cloud. The most important thing for administrators and users of Microsoft Office 20 products, which are still in support for a longer period of time, is what will happen to access to Microsoft 365 services. The article linked above discusses many topics. Access to MS 365 services ends October 2023 Microsoft's Jeremy Chapman answers key questions about Office and Microsoft 365 app deployment and maintenance in the article. I've already been alerted to the issue by a reader this week, which is touched on here but disclosed by Microsoft in the JTechcommunity article Office and Microsoft 365 Apps Deployment & Update Management 2022.
