Please note that the subscription for Microsoft Office 2016 was meant to be a lifetime subscription. It is so irresponsible for a big corporation like Microsoft to start asking for payment again and again for things that people paid before. I think if you require everyone to switch to the new mode of payment, there is a need for rebate to earlier purchaser the earlier payment amount for 2016. Otherwise, it will be deemed as double payment for the same piece of services.

    Hi @san san lee ,

    Sorry for the inconvenience that this may have caused you, to make your voice heard I suggest you provide feedback to Microsoft by using the feedback option within Office 2016:

    @san san lee ,

    I understand your feelings, support for Office 2016 for Mac would ended on October 13, 2020, it means that to stay up to date with all the latest features, patches, and security updates, you need to spend money to upgrade to a newer version of Office.

    About the feedback on support lifecycle, I would suggest you refer to Leon's reply. Please submit it in Office apps or on UserVoice forums, as we are mainly responsible for general issues of Office desktop applications.

    If you have any questions related to Office desktop applications during use, welcome to discuss with us.

    Thanks for your understanding.
