Office 2016 and 2019 End of Support on October 14, 2025

NOIDA, India - June 18, 2025 - PRLog -- IFI Techsolutions, a Microsoft Cloud Solution & Managed Services Provider, is helping businesses prepare for Office 2016 and 2019 End of Support on October 14, 2025—ensuring secure, scalable, and compliant transitions to modern productivity solutions.

Microsoft Office 2016 and 2019 will reach their End of Support (EOS) on October 14, 2025. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for these versions. Although the software may still function, using unsupported Office versions poses significant security and compliance risks. Organizations continuing to use these versions may face increased costs, productivity disruptions, and vulnerabilities due to lack of support.

Microsoft enforces product lifecycles to ensure that users receive timely updates and secure systems. Once the support window closes, users are encouraged to transition to supported alternatives. The two main options are Microsoft 365 Apps, which offer cloud-based access with regular updates, or Office LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel), a one-time purchase for those needing consistency and offline access.

Organizations must audit their systems to identify outdated software and consult licensing experts to determine the best path forward. Security must be prioritized through regular updates, strong network controls, and reliable backups. While transitioning, some may consider pre-owned Office licenses as a cost-effective alternative that still meets legal and functional standards.

Choosing the right post-EOS solution should balance performance, cost, compliance, and operational needs to ensure minimal disruption and enhanced IT security.
