Office 2021 is dying next month, but there's a salvation and it doesn't come from Microsoft

SAPO Notícias8 September 2026 at 12:00

Software has well-defined cycles. Office 2021 is preparing to reach the end of its life. Microsoft confirmed that official support ends on October 13. From that date onward, the software will no longer receive security updates and technical support from the company.

Microsoft confirmed the support end date for Office 2021. This is official information marking the end of an important cycle for this productivity suite. Users who still use this version will need to make decisions about their future.

However, a salvation is available for affected users. This solution doesn't come directly from Microsoft, which suggests that third-party alternatives or other paths exist to continue using productivity software. Users should be aware of these options to ensure the continuity of their work.
