This coupled with the statement in that support article that reads \u201cMicrosoft will not provide notification before implementing potentially disruptive changes that may result in a service interruption for users of the 2013 versions of Office 365 client applications.\u201d should ensure that you and your clients begin the process to migrate to using Office 2016 if you\u2019re firmly embedded into Office 365.<\/p>\n<p>This does lend some interesting questions as to where this leaves support for Infopath 2013. Microsoft have been very clear that this will remain supported technology in SharePoint 2016, but have been very careful not to announce any similar information with regards to SharePoint Online, citing the 1 years notice period for breaking changes to that environment. Whilst the InfoPath product isn\u2019t part of the Office 2013 packages that are being dropped out of Office 365 support this does suggest that this could happen sooner rather than later. <\/p>\n<p>Paul.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We knew this was coming, although it was announced back in September 2015 so I would imagine a lot of people have forgotten all about it, but as from 1st March 2017 your users will no longer be able to download the Office 2013 Version of software from the Office 365 portal.
