[Software] Microsoft 365 update should mean you'll never disconnect unexpectedly again

Those Microsoft 365 users that face long periods without internet access will no longer have to worry about their licensing tokens being revoked after the company revealed a change in policy regarding offline access. 

The change will prove hugely beneficial for field workers and other remote desktop workers that might have to go without reliable internet access for weeks at a time.

Previously, 365 apps required a user to connect to the internet at least once every 30 days or the device’s licensing token would not be renewed and the app in question would provide reduced functionality. However, this timeframe can be challenging for some industries, leading Microsoft into a rethink.

“We’re aware that in industries, including government, oil and gas, manufacturing, agriculture, and scientific research, some people work in secure or remote environments where they have limited or no internet connectivity for longer periods of time,” a Microsoft blog post explained. “To address this, we’re now providing extended offline access* to enable devices to stay activated without connecting to the internet for up to 180 days.”
