==Support policies== === Approach === All versions of Microsoft Office products from Office 2000 to Office 2016 are eligible for ten years of support following their release, during which Microsoft releases [[security update]]s for the product version and provides paid technical support. The ten-year period is divided into two five-year phases: The mainstream phase and the extended phase. During the mainstream phase, Microsoft may provide limited complimentary technical support and release non-security updates or change the design of the product. During the extended phase, said services stop.<ref>{{Cite web |date=March 9, 2017 |title=Microsoft Business, Developer and Desktop Operating Systems Policy
