6th, 2018 that the company is updating its Windows system requirements for Office 365 ProPlus and revising some of the announcements mentioned above. Office 365 ProPlus customers will continue to be supported on Windows 8.1 through January 2023 (end-of-support date) and on Windows Server 2016 until October 2025.

While the original April announcement only mentioned that the System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) will also align its update model with that of Office 365 ProPlus and Windows 10, Microsoft announced in July that Windows Server will join the club as well - making it easier to test, deploy, and update all the products together.

Microsoft will extend its support period for Office 365 ProPlus releases from 12 to 18 months to better accommodate the semi-annual channel cycles and allow IT pros to align deployment phases. Support timeline extends to 18 months after initial release.

Microsoft is reducing the number of updates per year to two - targeted for March and September each year - to align with its new semi-annual channel model for Windows 10 and Office 365 ProPlus.

However, the second part of the announcement created a much bigger stir among IT professionals: Microsoft has aligned the Windows 10 release schedules and support lifecycles with those of Office 365 ProPlus because customers have " asked us to simplify the update process and to improve the coordination between Office and Windows." The first part of the announcement detailed new system requirements, such as the need for all Office 365 ProPlus and Office perpetual in mainstream support to be connected to Office 365 services by 2020. On April 20th, 2017, Microsoft announced that it will make big changes regarding Office 365 ProPlus. However, this post will remain to keep a record of the historical information on Office 365. NOTE: Since Office 365 has undergone significant changes by Microsoft in it's naming convention and update channels, we will no longer be updating this post, as we have created a new post detailing those changes, and that post will receive the updates for new releases and EOL dates.
