Office 2016 Mac 365

16-09-2021 admin

Microsoft on Thursday announced that Office 2016 for Mac — Â a totally revamped version of its venerable productivity suite — Â is now available to any Mac user with an Office 365 subscription.

The updated suite includes redesigned, rewritten versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote. Sap netweaver license key generator. Each application now features a metro-style user interface, which brings the design of Microsoft's stalwart software package in line across all the platforms for which it's available.

Office 2016 Mac - Outlook will not connect to Office365 mailbox I have a user who is running MacOS Sierra and Office 2016 for Mac. Last week, his mail synchronization in Outlook stopped working and he began getting prompts to enter his password.

A slew of new features have also been added, though the apps have yet to quite reach feature parity with their Windows cousins. Mac users can now invite colleagues to edit Word documents together in realtime, for instance, but crowdpleasers like Excel's Quick Analysis are still missing.

AppleInsider got an early look at the new suite in March,Â and we've been using them as our daily drivers since that time. The changes are almost without exception for the better, and the community interaction during development — Â Microsoft says users of its preview have provided more than 100,000 pieces of feedback — Â point to a renewed Microsoft commitment to the Mac.

For now, Office 2016 for Mac is only available to users with active Office 365 subscriptions, which start at $69.99 per year. To soothe the inevitably ruffled feathers of consumers used to purchasing their software outright, Microsoft promises 'updates and new features for Office 365 customers at least once per quarter.'

For those who still don't want to subscribe, Microsoft says that a separate version for standalone purchase will be available in September, though pricing has yet to be revealed.

Important

We won’t take any active measures to block other versions of the Office client, such as Office 2013, from connecting to Office 365 services, but these older clients may encounter performance or reliability issues over time.

Impact of using older Office clients to connect to Office 365 services

After October 13, 2020, ongoing investments to our cloud services will not take into account older Office clients. Over time, these Office clients may encounter performance or reliability issues. Organizations that use these older clients will almost certainly face an increased security risk and may find themselves out of compliance depending upon specific regional or industry requirements.

Therefore, administrators should update older Office clients to versions of Office supported for connecting to Office 365 services.

Upgrade resources available to administrators

We recommend that you upgrade older Office clients to a subscription version of the Office client, such as Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. The most up-to-date subscription versions of the Office client are always supported connecting to Office 365 services.

We provide various services to help you upgrade to subscription versions of the Office client. The following list provides some examples of resources that are available:

Microsoft FastTrack, for migration and deployment assistance from Microsoft experts.
App Assure, for assistance from Microsoft with application compatibility issues.
Deployment guide for Microsoft 365 Apps, for technical documentation.
Product lifecycle dashboard and upgrade readiness dashboard, for users of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (current branch).
Readiness Toolkit for Office add-ins and VBA, to help identify potential issues with add-ins and VBA macros used in your organization.

Upcoming changes related to connectivity to Office 365 services

Retirement of TLS 1.0 and 1.1

After October 15, 2020, you must be using at least TLS 1.2 to connect to Office 365 services. For more information, see TLS 1.0 and 1.1 deprecation for Office 365 and Preparing for TLS 1.2 in Office 365 and Office 365 GCC.
