Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac users face harsh reality. As of October the office suite of Apple's rival already it will not be viable on Apple computers. It will work, it will continue to work, however security will be compromised and it will no longer receive support from Microsoft. At the end of the day, it is almost the same as saying that it will no longer work on Macs.
Users of all Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac applications will stop receiving security updates in October and will increasingly face performance and reliability issues as Microsoft drops support. As of October 13, 2020, Mac users of Office 2016 will no longer be officially supported by Office 365 or Microsoft 365 services. This means that the commercial versions of OneDrive, SharePoint, and Exchange Online will not be supported, although they may continue to work.
By continuing to operate they will be able to continue connecting to Microsoft platforms. Of course, you will not be able to receive security updates nor will they receive support from the company. In this way, it will be relegated to the last position of interest to the company and any anomaly that occurs will not be corrected. You may suffer problems with editing or even saving documents, so the thing is not only about security protocols. We can throw away all the work we have done because we do not have the support of the company.
If you are a user of this package and this year, please note that it is more than convenient that you weigh in acquiring a new version more recent. To be able to benefit from the bonanzas of the updates. Especially security, because nobody wants friends of others can snoop into our lives through our computers.
