End-of-support dates for the Microsoft products admins still run. Status and days-remaining are calculated live from your device's clock, so this never goes stale the way a static table does. Dates themselves are checked against Microsoft's own lifecycle pages as of — always confirm against the official page linked in each row before making a decision that depends on it.
| Product | End of support | Status |
|---|
"End of support" means the date Microsoft stops shipping security updates for that version — not when it stops working. A product past this date still runs, but any newly discovered vulnerability in it will never be patched. Some products listed share a date because Microsoft retired them together in a joint announcement (for example Exchange 2016/2019 and Office 2016/2019 both ended October 15, 2025). Extended Security Updates (ESU), where available, can push the real cutoff further for a fee — check the official page for your specific product and edition.
