Effective after February 28, 2017 all support and installation for the 2013 version of Office 365 will no longer be available. Microsoft will no longer provide support for the following products through Customer Service and Support or Microsoft Premier Support:



  • Office 365 ProPlus (2013)
  • Office 365 Small Business Premium (2013)
  • Office 365 Business (2013)
  • Project Pro for Office 365 (2013)
  • Visio Pro for Office 365 (2013)


Additionally, Microsoft will not release any feature updates for these versions of the products, but they will continue to release critical and important security updates for these versions of the products until April 10, 2018. Users who continue to use the 2013 version of Office 365 should be aware that Microsoft will not provide notification before implementing potentially disruptive changes that may result in a service interruption for users. If users want to continue receiving support from Microsoft, they will have to upgrade to the latest version of Office 365.
