Office 365 Product name, Version, and Edition changes.

Class 1

Customers should be prepared and take action

Change Summary

Based on changes made by Microsoft on office 365, Application Recognition Library (ARL) needs to change the Product Name, Version, and edition for existing Microsoft Office 365 applications.

Impact

Product Change:

Microsoft Office 365 has been renamed as '365'.  All the versions of the product name 'Office 365' will be renamed as '365'  in ARL. [1]

Version Change:

Often, Microsoft releases versions based on the build numbers, and the 16.0 version is no more connected to 2016, and versions format looks like 2104, 2105 for 16.xx build numbers.

We will maintain an internal version for 2016 as 16.0 and 2019 as 17.0 in the ARL.

Edition change

New Edition names have been introduced in ARL for the latest versions as per Microsoft website. Refer to the below screenshot for more information. [2]
