Should You Upgrade to Office 2021 LTSC or Microsoft 365 Apps? (Petri.com)

With Office 2013, 2016, and 2019 soon reaching end-of-support, IT pros need to offer their managers recommendations on how to proceed.

This is the biggest question you will need to process in 2023 in relation to your Microsoft Office usage and plans for the future. [Why you should plan to upgrade to Office 2021 LTSC or Microsoft 365 Apps?](#Why_you_should_plan_to_upgrade_to_Office_2021_LTSC_or_Microsoft_365_Apps) [Should you upgrade to Office 2021 LTSC or migrate to Microsoft 365 Apps?](#Should_you_upgrade_to_Office_2021_LTSC_or_migrate_to_Microsoft_365_Apps) [Conclusion](#Conclusion) Stay on the perpetual, lower-cost traditional ‘a major version every two to three years’ Office LTSC, or choose the Microsoft 365 Apps subscription model. The ease of administration/longevity of the solution is generally easier with the Microsoft 365 apps. Again, as of this writing, when your users use the Microsoft 365 apps model, they will always be supported, especially when using them to connect to Microsoft 365 cloud apps and services. This gives you the most time in between needing to make these types of decisions. The Microsoft 365 apps (for enterprise) is the subscription-based track of software. The only way to get new features is to upgrade the version you’re running – from say Office 2013 to Office 2016. They are licensed per user and allow you to install the suite of Office apps on one computer indefinitely (which of course really means when Microsoft stops supporting them!). You will not be able to get any technical support from Microsoft, and the applications themselves will start to encounter issues. To be a global leader in this realm of innovation, you need to ask your customers to stay up-to-date with their software packages, namely Microsoft Office.
