Agenda

Last month, we said goodbye to several popular Microsoft products – Windows 10, Office 2016/2019, and Exchange Server 2019 – which no longer receive official patches, fixes, or updates.

Although the story of Windows 10 continues with Extended Security Updates, many organizations are now rolling out successor products: Windows 11 and Office 2021/2024, alongside subscription-based offerings. What’s changed, and what licensing scenarios do they enable? Watch our webinar to learn about current licensing rules, metrics, and deployment considerations – and how to pick the best path for your environment.

Agenda highlights

  • Post-EOS landscape at a glance: What changed with Windows and Office, and how it affects estates with mixed versions.
  • Perpetual licenses in practice: Windows 11 & Office 2021/2024 – feature implications, licensing metrics, activation models, and support timelines.
  • Windows 10 LTSC considerations: When LTSC fits, where it doesn’t, and how to plan for devices that can’t move to Windows 11.
  • Office choices now: Office 2021/2024 perpetual vs. M365 subscription apps – compatibility, coexistence, and servicing differences.
  • Deployment scenarios that work (and those that don’t): Deployment tools, volume activation management, and common pitfalls around assignment rules and product use rights.
  • Cost and compliance guardrails: How to reuse existing entitlements, combine perpetual and subscription SKUs responsibly to achieve the best results.
