macos ios reduced functionality

This tag covers discussions about Microsoft Office and Microsoft 365 apps on macOS and iOS entering a reduced functionality mode after July 13, 2026, unless updated to builds with a renewed licensing certificate. The issue primarily affects Office 2019 for Mac users who have no update path, leading to a loss of editing rights despite having a perpetual license. The controversy stems from the clash between cloud-era licensing and the expectation of perpetual software functionality. Topics include certificate expiration, licensing policies, and the impact on users who rely on older Office versions on Apple platforms.
