The Azure Information Protection unified labeling client has all components from the Microsoft Purview Information Protection client as well as the Azure Information Protection Add-in. The AIP Add-in for Office is the only component retired on April 11, 2024, driven by the modernization effort to make sensitivity labeling and protection built in to Office applications. All other components within the unified labeling client aren't in maintenance mode and are fully supported in the Microsoft Purview Information Protection client.
