Get premium protection 

Today’s business environment is challenging and confusing. Protecting your data shouldn’t be. That’s why Arcserve is offering UDP Community Edition – for FREE.

With UDP Community Edition, you gain access to Premium Edition* capabilities of UDP and can protect an unlimited number of workloads – up to 1 TB total.

Back up data from almost any source—Windows or Linux machines, virtual machines (VMware or Hyper-V), cloud instances, NAS, Microsoft Office 365, Exchange and SharePoint (online or on-premises)—with one unified data protection solution.

Pay nothing, get a lot 

Download the software and start protecting your data today. UDP Community Edition gives you almost all the capabilities of our Premium Edition* for free. Here are just some of the benefits of this powerful unified data protection software:

One application, many types of workloads

Unlike competitive systems that require you to download multiple programs to protect different types of workloads—one program for virtual machines, another for Microsoft Office 365 data, another for NAS data, another for AWS data, another for Azure—or limit the number of workloads you can protect for free, UDP Community Edition empowers you do it all with one tool – with up to 1 TB of data protected on-premises for free.

Complete backup with advanced security

Safeguard cloud, virtual, physical, hyperconverged, and SaaS-based workloads with block-level, infinite incremental backups and agentless backup for VMware and Hyper-V. Safeguard data in-flight and at rest with built-in AES/SSL encryption, and ensure security with role-based administration.

Rapid restore

Recover faster with instant VM and bare metal recovery (BMR), local and remote virtual standby, application-consistent backup and granular restore, and hardware snapshot support.

Easy management with robust reporting

Quickly deploy and orchestrate all capabilities with one web-based UI and policy-based management. Automated DR testing and SLA reporting keeps stakeholders informed.

*UDP Community Edition does not include full tape Arcserve Backup support available in the full Premium Edition.

Starting from March 29, 2021, all Nebula customers will be updated to our new per-device licensing model as our co-termination licensing model will sadly come to an end.Why the change?

• Simplification is by far the main driver in the change, after receiving a lot of feedback from partners and clients. We have decided to evolve the licensing to become much simpler to understand and manage. The change to per-device licensing allows IT teams to maintain various expiration dates across devices, sites or organizations. Each Organisation can have a single shared expiration which will be manageable through our new Circle licence management platform for channel partners (supporting Nebula later this year).
  Additionally, Nebula Control Center (NCC) Pro Pack licenses will move to flat rate pricing across all product types, making it much simpler for purchasing, managing and renewing.
• Unification is another factor for our ever evolving platform. As we begin to advance and bring in more sophisticated devices like the USG FLEX series into Nebula, we need to maintain a simple migration path between on-premise (traditional deployments) and our cloud platform. These changes will ensure that we bring a consistent, unified approach to the customer experience both in platform and licensing.
• Improved Packs This update will also introduce a new Plus Pack that includes a subset of the most commonly requested features for administering sites (from the current Pro Pack) at a much more affordable flat rate price (per device). We will also launch the Managed Service Provider (MSP) Pack that will facilitate cross-org management and help elevate the manageability in Nebula for MSP customers.

Starting on October 13, 2020, only these versions of Office will be supported for connecting to Office 365 (and Microsoft 365) services:

• Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise (previously named Office 365 ProPlus)
• Microsoft 365 Apps for business (previously named Office 365 Business)
• Office 2019, such as Office Professional Plus 2019
• Office 2016, such as Office Standard 2016

Examples of Office 365 services include Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, and OneDrive for Business.

 Important

We won’t take any active measures to block other versions of the Office client, such as Office 2013, from connecting to Office 365 services, but these older clients may encounter performance or reliability issues over time.

Impact of using older Office clients to connect to Office 365 services

After October 13, 2020, ongoing investments to our cloud services will not take into account older Office clients. Over time, these Office clients may encounter performance or reliability issues. Organizations that use these older clients will almost certainly face an increased security risk and may find themselves out of compliance depending upon specific regional or industry requirements.

Therefore, administrators should update older Office clients to versions of Office supported for connecting to Office 365 services.

Upgrade resources available to administrators

We recommend that you upgrade older Office clients to a subscription version of the Office client, such as Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise. The most up-to-date subscription versions of the Office client are always supported connecting to Office 365 services.

We provide various services to help you upgrade to subscription versions of the Office client. The following list provides some examples of resources that are available:

• Microsoft FastTrack, for migration and deployment assistance from Microsoft experts.
• App Assure, for assistance from Microsoft with application compatibility issues.
• Deployment guide for Microsoft 365 Apps, for technical documentation.
• Product lifecycle dashboard and upgrade readiness dashboard, for users of Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (current branch).
• Readiness Toolkit for Office add-ins and VBA, to help identify potential issues with add-ins and VBA macros used in your organization.

Upcoming changes related to connectivity to Office 365 services

Retirement of TLS 1.0 and 1.1

After October 15, 2020, you must be using at least TLS 1.2 to connect to Office 365 services. For more information, see TLS 1.0 and 1.1 deprecation for Office 365 and Preparing for TLS 1.2 in Office 365 and Office 365 GCC.

Basic authentication with Exchange Online

There are some changes planned related to the use of Basic Authentication with Exchange Online. For more information, see Basic Authentication and Exchange Online – April 2020 Update.

Additional information about connectivity to Office 365 services

• Versions of Office 2019 and Office 2016 are supported until October 2023.
• Connecting to Office 365 services using Office 2016 for Mac isn’t supported after October 13, 2020. That’s because Office 2016 for Mac reaches end of support on that date.
• This information about connecting to Office 365 services also applies to Project and Visio.
• This information about connecting to Office 365 services does not apply to InfoPath 2013 or SharePoint Designer 2013.
• For end of support dates for different versions of Office on various versions of Windows, see the Office configuration support matrix.
• To discuss or learn more about end of support for Office versions, visit Microsoft Office End of Support on the Microsoft Tech Community.

Right now, we have a lot of concerns. For our families and colleagues. For our businesses and our customers. Many of us are now working remotely, and all of us have had our day-to-day lives impacted in unique ways. At Microsoft, our top priority is the health and safety of our employees, customers, partners, and communities.


We have been evaluating the public health situation, and we understand the impact this is having on you, our valued customers. To ease one of the many burdens you are currently facing, and based on customer feedback, we have decided to delay the scheduled end of service date for the Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise editions of Windows 10, version 1709. This means devices will receive monthly security updates only from May to October. The final security update for these editions of Windows 10, version 1709 will be released on October 13, 2020 instead of April 14, 2020.


Security updates for Windows 10, version 1709 will be available via our regular servicing channels: Windows Update, Windows Server Update Services, and the Microsoft Update Catalog. You will not need to alter your current update management workflows. For example, all supported versions of Microsoft Configuration Manager (current branch) will continue to support Windows 10, version 1709 until October 13, 2020.


If you haven’t yet done so, we encourage IT teams to consider shifting to Windows Update for Business, which allows users to take both feature updates and quality updates directly from Microsoft in a secure and often faster manner. You can also consult our Windows as a service resources for steps you can take to keep your Windows 10 devices up to date.

For a comprehensive list of end-of-service dates for all versions and editions of the Windows client and Windows Server operating systems, bookmark the Windows lifecycle fact sheet or utilize the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy search tool to find lifecycle information for all commercial Microsoft products. We recommend you bookmark the Windows message center and follow @WindowsUpdate for the latest news and announcements.

	Major update: Announcement started
	Applied To: All

In response to the unprecedented situation we are in and knowing that priorities have changed for many of our customers we have decided to postpone retiring Basic Authentication in Exchange Online (MC204828) for those tenants still actively using it until the second half of 2021. We will provide a more precise date when we have a better understanding of the impact of the situation. [How does this affect me?] We will continue to disable Basic Authentication for newly created tenants by default and begin to disable Basic Authentication in tenants that have no recorded usage starting October 2020. And of course you can start blocking legacy authentication today, you don’t need us to do anything if you want to get started (and you should). We will also continue to complete the roll-out of OAuth support for POP, IMAP, SMTP AUTH and Remote PowerShell and continue to improve our reporting capabilities. We will publish more details on these as we make progress. [What do I need to do to prepare?] This change allows you more time to update clients, applications and services that are using Basic Authentication to use Modern Authentication.
