I trust you are well. Please see the information as quoted from Microsoft’s announcement. The short version: Microsoft are no longer supporting Office 2007.
Home and Business:
My suggestion if I may – I will quote on NEW full retail packs of Office 2016 Home and Business (Word, Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, One Note). While Microsoft’s pricing does not fluctuate on a weekly basis, unfortunately the R/$ rate regularly does. This means that the supplier pricing can change. The best I can do is to hold pricing for NEW retail packs for 7 days, subject to the R/$ rate. You can then procure payment for the NEW retail packs. After we have solved the Office 2016 HB installations we can look at the 2 Professional Office installations.
Photo Editor:
The truth is that it is no longer bundled with any Office version. However Microsoft has informed me that it can be installed manually or another program MS has made freely available for download. So we can install this for everyone if required.
Office 2016 Professional:
This will only be required if you wish to have Access on 1 or more PC. This will have to be what is called a digital purchase. I will pay the supplier who will then request the key(s) from Microsoft. Once Microsoft has issued the key to me I will then forward the key(s). This is a NON- refundable product from the suppliers as Microsoft only issues the keys on request and payment. We can sort this out once we have done the Home and business installations.
The deciding factor for you might be if you require ACCESS, if not then Office home and business will suffice for all. ACCESS unfortunately only comes with the Pro version of Office. This is unfortunately only available as a new product.
Office 2007: (Please note the below is copied/quoted from Microsoft)
On October 10, 2017, Office 2007 will reach End of Life. If you haven't already begun to upgrade your Office 2007 environment, we recommend you start now.
We also recommend customers use the deployment benefits provided by Microsoft and Microsoft Certified Partners.
What does End of Life mean?
Office 2007, like almost all Microsoft products, has a support lifecycle during which we provide new features, bug fixes, security fixes, and so on. This lifecycle typically lasts for 10 years from the date of the product’s initial release, and the end of this lifecycle is known as the product’s End of Life. When Office 2007 reaches its End of Life on October 10, 2017, Microsoft will no longer provide:
• Technical support for issues
• Bug fixes for issues that are discovered
• Security fixes for vulnerabilities that are discovered
Because of the changes listed above, we strongly recommend that you upgrade as soon as possible.
I hope I did not confuse you with all that info. If you have questions or want more info please feel free to call or email me. I will be sending you a second email where MS lists some of the recently expired to soon expiring product support.
