Outlook 2016 (win) (x86) Plug-in

Hi Chris,

We are indeed working on supporting Office 2016 for our OPI 2.1. Support for Office 16 will be in 1HCY2016.

Also, there is no tricking the installer about Office 2016 vs Office 2013 based on reg keys. Please do understand that we are not supporting Office 2016 as of yet for our plug-in so it can cause unintended consequences.

If there are any questions please do reach out to me.

Thanks & Regards,

I would have thought this would have been in place by now but........ Additionally, the plug-in is working on my outlook 2016 that was upgraded from 2013. Works just fine.

With no eta I'll have to keep looking for a workaround, as I mentioned above, it does work just fine with 2016...... Regards, Chris

Office 2016 was released in late September 2015. That was almost 4 months ago.

This is a feature that is invaluable for many Sugar users.

Can I strongly suggest having Office 2016 compatibility be red-flag-expedited!

Hi everyone,

We have several customers who have already upgraded to Outlook 2016, and as such can no longer use the Outlook/Sugar plugin. I logged a case with Sugar support, who have replied with the following:

Support for Windows 10 is being considered in the release after OPI 2.1 along with Office2016. The release is not planned yet but we hope to have that in the first half of 2016.

We are not overly happy about this, especially seeing as Office 2016 was released in September of 2015! However, there isn't much we can do unfortunately. Hopefully Sugar will *actually* release this in the first half of the year, and there won't be any delay...!

100% agree with you!

One would think Sugar would start developing on new MS Office version as soon as they are available in beta...

Oh well, SugarCRM runs behind in many parts of their stack (PHP 7, Elasticsearch 2.2 and MariaDB anyone? )

Hi Philippa,

Can you get an official ETA update on this please?
There is also some confusion with version numbers and acquisition methods from MS Office.

i.e.

Office 365 is subscription, and it now includes all office 2016

As Sugar plugins state support Office 365, does that mean anyone buying Office/Outlook 2016 via the Office 365 subscription method will be fine on current plugins?

Hi Vincent,

to clear up some confusion:

the Office 365 plugins are the same as the Office 2013 ones since before Office 2016 was released those versions were identical.

In my opinion, there should not be an extra download for Ofifice 365 since as you say it is not a software you can install but a subscription model which may include Office 2013 or 2016 to install on your computer.

Hi Alay,

Do you have any updates on this yet?

How far off is the Outlook 2016 plug-in?

Hi Vincent,

Apologies, I think there may be some confusion. I do not work for Sugar, I work for a partner. I was simply passing on the information I was provided from Sugar support

Best wishes,
Philippa
