Support Lifecycle changes for Office ProPlus & 2016 (a.o.) Posted on September 7, 2018 by Michel de Rooij In a surprise – but welcomed – move, Microsoft announced yesterday that the office support lifecycle for Office 365 ProPlus on Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2016 are extended to January 2023 (EOL of Windows 8.1) and October 2025. Assuming you were using Office 2016 before updating to Catalina, the solution is simple. Download a copy of the current version of AutoUpdate from this link, install and then run AutoUpdate to bring your installation to current update level, then restart your Mac.
