Office LTSC 2024 is the successor to Office LTSC 2021 and offers an Office suite without the constant updates characteristic of cloud solutions like Microsoft 365. LTSC does not receive new functionalities after the initial release, ensuring a predictable work environment. Microsoft provides five years of support for Office LTSC 2024, according to the standard lifecycle policy for LTSC versions.
Available editions of Office LTSC 2024
Office LTSC 2024 is available in three editions:
- Office Professional Plus
- Office Standard
- Office for Mac
Additionally, new versions of Visio and Project are also available. While LTSC does not receive new features after release, it includes several improvements that have already been implemented in Microsoft 365 Apps for Enterprise and Business, such as performance enhancements and a modernized interface.
Price increase
With the release of Office LTSC 2024, there is a 10% price increase compared to the LTSC 2021 version. This is an important consideration for companies looking to acquire this version.
