What is the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy for Microsoft 365 and Office products?
The Office 365 and Microsoft 365 suite of services, along with Microsoft 365 Apps, is governed by the Modern Lifecycle Policy.
On April 21, 2020, we adopted 'Microsoft 365 Apps' for our two Office client subscription products:
- Office 365 ProPlus will become Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise
- Office 365 Business will become Microsoft 365 Apps for business
Also, on that date, we changed the names of our Office 365 small and medium business offerings and many of our consumer offerings:
- Office 365 Business Essentials will become Microsoft 365 Business Basic
- Office 365 Business Premium will become Microsoft 365 Business Standard
- Microsoft 365 Business will become Microsoft 365 Business Premium
- Office 365 Home will become Microsoft 365 Family
- Office 365 Personal will become Microsoft 365 Personal
- Office 365 Solo will become Microsoft 365 Personal
- Office 365 Services will become Microsoft 365 Personal
