Workspaces - M365 EOL announcement -

0

Microsoft announced in the future Oct 2026 that they'll no longer support M365 on any Server version. Right now i'm running M365 and using their services for email. I'm not using the bundled AWS office package.

So in the future If i need to build a new Workspace machine i won't be able to install M365 and have to run it unsupported.

Is there any solution for organizations under 100 users. I'm using less then 20 seats right now. And BYOL starts at 100.

MSFT announcement only refers to the M365 EOL for current Server OS versions. It does not say anything about next Server OS version. I searched and found this article: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-server-insiders/future-of-m365-apps-on-windows-server-2025/m-p/4041176. It seems quite likely that MSFT will support M365 on Server 2025 so our path forward will be to support WorkSpaces on Server 2025. Just sharing my observation. until MSFT officially announces the support; we can't be sure.

Microsoft support M365 apps on Server Versions that are in mainstream support. Please refer to Microsoft's lifecycle policies for the full picture. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/deployoffice/endofsupport/windows-server-support

    All this states is that Support ends in 2026 is what my question is asking. Does AWS have a path forward or will i be forced to migrate off AWS and use the Microsoft Solution stated in their Lifecycle policy.
