IMPORTANT: Update required on older Apple devices before 13 July 2026
Last updated: Thu Aug 6 16:15
Microsoft is updating a licensing certificate used by Microsoft 365 desktop apps on Mac and iOS devices.
To avoid these apps becoming read-only after 13 July 2026, please ensure your device and apps are updated to the following minimum versions:
- Mac: macOS 12 (Monterey) or later, and Microsoft 365 apps version 16.83 or later
- iPhone/iPad: iOS/iPadOS 17.0 or later, and Microsoft 365 apps version 2.93 or later
Users with devices running older, unsupported versions will not be able to edit documents in these desktop apps after 13 July 2026, but may still view or print them.
Users will still be able to edit documents online using the Office Web Apps, or access the desktop apps using the Glasgow Anywhere desktop, regardless of device type.
