Released just about a year ago, Microsoft will support this product for five years, half the usual time frame.
However, Office 2021 is likely the last edition. Microsoft has put most of its focus on its subscription model but it will continue to sell Office 2021 for those who aren’t ready for a cloud-based experience. The app will update automatically with a new icon and name, so don’t be surprised when you open 365 and see a new interface. Microsoft said there will be no impact to your existing account, profile, subscription or files. The changes will apply to everyone who uses the Office app for work, school or personal use. In January, changes will begin rolling out for the Office app on Windows and the Office mobile app. Microsoft explains Office LTSC and its changes in more detail in a Tech Community post (opens in new tab).“In the coming months,, the Office mobile app, and the Office app for Windows will become the Microsoft 365 app, with a new icon, a new look, and even more features,” Microsoft said in a statement.Ĭhanges will begin rolling out for next month. Office LTSC will be supported for five years going forward, which is two fewer than what Microsoft provided previously. At the same time, we definitely have customers who have specific scenarios where they don't feel like they can move to the cloud." Microsoft's Jared Spataro, head of Microsoft 365, told The Verge, "We certainly have a lot of customers that have moved to the cloud over the last 10 months, that's happened en masse really. Microsoft expects businesses to use Office LTSC in specific scenarios rather than rolling it out across an entire organization. Microsoft explains that Office LTSC is for "regulated devices that cannot accept feature updates for years at a time, process control devices on the manufacturing floor that are not connected to the internet, and specialty systems that must stay locked in time and require a long-term servicing channel." Office LTSC is for a different use case than Office 2021.
