Overview of Office LTSC 2024
Article • 04/02/2025

Office Long Term Service Channel (LTSC) 2024 is the most recent on-premises edition of
Microsoft's core productivity apps, designed for use in disconnected or restricted
environments. It's available to organizations through volume licensing agreements

） Important

Office LTSC 2024 is different from the Office version offered through Microsoft 365
plans, called Microsoft 365 Apps. Because it's designed for disconnected
environments, Office LTSC doesn't include any cloud-backed features. It also
doesn't receive feature updates after launch. If your organization currently deploys
Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise or Microsoft 365 Apps for business, you don't
need Office LTSC 2024. Microsoft 365 Apps includes all Office LTSC 2024 features
and many more features that Office LTSC 2024 doesn't include.

Enterprise administrators can download and deploy Office LTSC 2024 to users within
their organization. The following volume licensed Office products are available for
devices running Windows:

Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024

Office LTSC Standard 2024
Project Professional 2024
Project Standard 2024
Visio LTSC Professional 2024
Visio LTSC Standard 2024

Minimum system requirements

Office LTSC 2024 is supported on the following operating systems:

Windows 11*
Windows 10
Windows 10 LTSC 2021
Windows 10 LTSC 2019
Windows Server 2022

* For Arm-based devices, Windows 11 is the minimum supported version.

Your device needs at least a 1.1 GHz, two-core processor, 4 GB of RAM, 4 GB of available
disk space, and a display with a resolution of 1280 x 768 to run Office LTSC 2024. A 64-
bit version of Office is required for 4K and higher resolutions.

For detailed system requirements, see System requirements for Microsoft 365 and
Office .

For devices running macOS, Office LTSC Standard for Mac 2024 is available for volume
licensed customers. For more information, see Deployment guide for Office for Mac.

Support duration
Office LTSC 2024, including Project and Visio, receive five years of Mainstream Support.
After this period, there will be no Extended Support for these products. For more
information, see Fixed Lifecycle Policy.

What changed in Office LTSC 2024?

Office LTSC 2024 brings several key updates and improvements compared to previous
Office versions. This section highlights the most significant changes to help you quickly
understand what’s new.

 Tip

If you’re moving to Office LTSC 2024 from Office 2016, you should also review the
changes documented in the Overview of Office 2019 (for IT Pros). The most
significant difference between Office 2016 and Office LTSC 2024 is the shift in
installation technology from Windows Installer (MSI) to Click-to-Run.

OpenDocument format 1.4

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in Office LTSC 2024 include support for OpenDocument
format (ODF) 1.4. With this change, ODF files are saved in the ODF 1.4 format by default.
ODF 1.4 introduces several new features, such as tables within shapes, lists starting at
zero, and new accessibility attributes for decorative objects. Previous versions of ODF
files can still be opened but are saved as ODF 1.4. For more information, see support for
OpenDocument Format 1.4 .

Office Add-ins
More Office Add-ins JavaScript APIs are available with Office LTSC 2024, including these
requirement sets.

Product requirement sets:

Excel: Up to 1.17
Outlook: Up to 1.14
PowerPoint: Up to 1.5

Common API requirement sets:

CustomFunctionsRuntime 1.3 (Excel)
DialogApi 1.2 (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)
IdentityAPI 1.3 (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word)
ImageCoercion 1.2 (Excel, PowerPoint, Word)
OpenBrowserWindowApi 1.1 (Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Word)
RibbonApi 1.1 (Excel)
SharedRuntime 1.1 (Excel)

Publish to Power BI in Excel

The Publish to Power BI feature is removed from Excel. This change doesn't affect prior
versions of on-premises Office.

Move to the Power BI service for a more robust set of features, such as importing Excel
workbooks from OneDrive and SharePoint document libraries to view in Power BI.
Existing local workbooks can still be downloaded from Power BI workspaces, and Excel
data models can be published as Power BI semantic models with scheduled refresh.

Microsoft Publisher

Microsoft Publisher is not included with Office LTSC 2024. This change is due to the
planned retirement of Publisher, which will no longer be supported after October 2026.
For more information, see Microsoft Publisher will no longer be supported after October
2026 .

Microsoft Teams

The Microsoft Teams app isn't preinstalled with Office LTSC 2024, but is available as a
separate download. Organizations that require Teams for communication and
collaboration can download Teams separately.

ActiveX
In Office LTSC 2024, ActiveX controls are disabled by default. However, IT administrators
can re-enable ActiveX where necessary.

What stayed the same in Office LTSC 2024?

Continue using the same software distribution tools, such as Microsoft Configuration
Manager, to deploy and update Office LTSC 2024 as you do for volume licensed versions
of Office LTSC 2021 or Office 2019.

The activation process for volume licensed versions of Office remains unchanged. You
can still use Key Management Service (KMS) or Multiple Activation Key (MAK) to activate
Office. For more information, see Overview of volume activation of Office.

The major version of Office LTSC 2024 is 16.0, the same as Office LTSC 2021 and volume
licensed versions of Office 2019 and Office 2016. This consistency in the major version
provides several benefits when upgrading from earlier versions:

Existing Group Policy settings remain functional, as they continue to be stored in

the following registry locations:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Office\16.0
Other registry locations and settings that reference 16.0 still apply.
Add-ins and other extensibility solutions compatible with Office LTSC 2021 or
Office 2019 are likely to work with Office LTSC 2024, requiring minimal testing.

What are the new features in Office LTSC 2024?

For information about the new features in Office LTSC 2024, see the following articles:

What's new in Office LTSC 2024

What's new in Access 2024
What's new in Excel 2024
What's new in OneNote LTSC 2024
What's new in Outlook 2024
What's new in PowerPoint 2024
What's new in Visio 2024
What's new in Word 2024

７ Note
 Office LTSC 2024 provides valuable enhancements for customers who need to keep
their Office apps on-premises, but it doesn't include the new features and
functionality available in Microsoft 365 Apps. As a result, users don't have access to
real-time collaboration, AI-driven automation, or advanced security and compliance
tools tailored for a hybrid work environment.

Keep in mind that Office LTSC 2024 doesn't receive any new features. If you want to get
new Office features on an ongoing basis, you should consider moving to a Microsoft
365 plan. Many business and enterprise plans include Microsoft 365 Apps. These plans
also provide you with Microsoft 365, which includes the same apps as Office LTSC 2024.
For more information, see Compare Microsoft 365 enterprise plans , Compare Office
365 enterprise plans , and Compare Microsoft 365 business plans .

To continue receiving ongoing feature updates for the desktop versions of Project and
Visio, you should consider moving to a subscription plan such as Planner and Project
Plan 3 or Planner and Project Plan 5. For more information on the available subscription
options, see Microsoft Planner plans and pricing and Visio Plan 2 .

How do I upgrade to Office LTSC 2024?

Uninstall versions of Office before deploying Office LTSC 2024. Most Office products
installed via Windows Installer (MSI), such as Office 2016, can be removed during the
installation of Office LTSC 2024. For more information, see Remove existing versions of
Office before installing Office LTSC 2024.

Additional information about Office LTSC 2024

Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 includes Access, Excel, OneNote, Outlook,
PowerPoint, and Word. Skype for Business is available as an optional install during
setup.
Access isn't available for devices running macOS.
Office LTSC 2024 includes the OneNote desktop app. For more information, see
Deployment guide for OneNote.
Office LTSC 2024 is available in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. We recommend
64-bit on devices with 4 GB or more of memory. However, you should assess
application compatibility and other factors that might require the use of the 32-bit
version. For more information, see Choose between the 64-bit or 32-bit version of
Office .
After you download the installation files, internet connectivity isn’t required to
install Office LTSC 2024. Internet connectivity is required for MAK activation, but
 not for KMS activation. After activation, internet connectivity isn't required to use
Office LTSC 2024.
