O365 Tidbit - What office client are you using

Hello All,

A customer of mine just got hit by this so I figured I would make sure you saw it again as well.

Effective October 13th, 2020, Office 365 will only allow Office client connectivity from subscription clients (Office 365 ProPlus) or Office perpetual clients within mainstream support to connect to Office 365 services. (Please refer to the Microsoft support lifecycle site for Office mainstream support dates .)
