• Office 2007 End of Life, Outlook 2007 connections to Office 365 mailboxes ends Oct. 31, 2017

  Office 2007 will reach End of Life on October 10, 2017. That’s a little over three months away.

  What that means is, there will be no new security updates, non-security updates, free or paid assisted support options, or online technical content updates. According to Microsoft

  In addition, as of October 31, 2017, Outlook 2007 will be unable to connect to Office 365 mailboxes, which means Outlook 2007 clients using Office 365 will not be able to receive and send mail. For more information, see RPC over HTTP deprecated in Office 365 on October 31, 2017.

  With some exceptions like Outlook, mentioned above, Office 2007 programs will continue to  run after support ends, But Users will be taking a risk of malware infections exploiting unpatched flaws, and existing bugs will no longer be fixed.

  Microsoft provides 3 options to upgrade Office 2007

  • Upgrade to Office 365 ProPlus, the subscription version of Office that comes with many Office 365 plans.
  • Upgrade to Office 2016, which is sold as a one-time purchase and available for one computer per license.
  • Upgrade to an earlier version of Office, such as Office 2013.
