SharePoint Server Roadmap

SharePoint Server software is a Windows Server-based application that delivers file sharing, team collaboration, corporate portal hosting, enterprise search, content management, Web-based reporting, and other collaboration features. The most recent versions offer many of the features of SharePoint Online. The software is licensed for the server and all users accessing the server.

Product: SharePoint Server

Timeline: SharePoint Online and Server Timelines

Licensing: SharePoint Server Licensing

Near Term (2025–2026)

SharePoint Server’s future is focused on SharePoint Server Subscription Edition (SE), which is the latest version and is offered as an evergreen, “versionless” product. SE has no end-of-support date, and customers must stay current with updates and maintain Software Assurance (SA).

Migration Planning

The previous versions (2016 and 2019) will reach end-of-support at the same time in July 2026, leaving SE as the only supported version. SharePoint Server 2016 and 2019 customers need to decide whether to migrate to SharePoint Server SE or SharePoint Online before the end of 2025.
