Generally, add-ins that use the unified manifest can be installed only on certain versions of Microsoft 365 and certain platforms. For details, see [Client and platform support](../develop/unified-manifest-overview.md#client-and-platform-support).

However, there are two exceptions which enable these add-ins to be installed on older versions of Microsoft 365 and on perpetual license versions of Office.

However, there is an exception: if the user's Microsoft 365 administrator deploys the add-in for all users, then the add-in can be installed on older versions of Microsoft 365 and on perpetual license versions of Office.

- The user's Microsoft 365 administrator deploys the add-in for all users.

- The user installs the add-in on another Microsoft 365 client application that *does* support the unified manifest. This makes the add-in available on the same user's other Office clients, including older or perpetual license.

If you have users on older or perpetual license versions for which this exception doesn't apply, then you will need to maintain both versions of the add-in. When all of your users are working with Office versions that support the unified manifest, you can remove the version with the add-in only manifest from deployment.

There are also some scenarios where you might want to maintain both both versions of the add-in for an extended period. For example, there are two features of add-ins that aren't supported with the unified manifest because they're little used or deprecated.

- [Outlook modules](../outlook/extension-module-outlook-add-ins.md) aren't supported. But you can provide a nearly identical experience using the unified manifest by [including a Teams Tab with your add-in in a single app](/microsoftteams/platform/m365-apps/combine-office-add-in-and-teams-app).

- [Outlook contextual add-ins](../outlook/contextual-outlook-add-ins.md) (also known as "activation rules") aren't supported. But you can provide similar experiences using the unified manifest and [Event-based activation](../develop/event-based-activation.md).
