Office 2024 LTSC for Businesses
Microsoft Office 2024 LTSC was launched on October 1, 2024, primarily tailored for businesses.
This version is priced at $319.99, representing a 10% increase from Office 2021. It can only be procured through volume licensing, not available for individual purchases online.
Exercise caution with second-hand license resellers, as these licenses are often singular-use and become void if hardware or OS changes occur.
The LTSC model will receive only security updates, emphasizing long-term servicing. Improvements include a new aesthetic theme, enhanced accessibility tools, and dynamic charts in Excel, alongside ODF 1.4 support.
Office 2024 Home Version for Individuals
The personal edition, Office 2024 Home, was also launched on October 1, 2024. Available for $149.99, this version provides a lifetime license for installation on one PC (Windows or macOS). It includes essential apps such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, and likely OneNote.
Unlike its LTSC counterpart, the Home version is easily reachable via Microsoft and other retailers.
Considering its limitations and pricing, non-professional users may find it challenging to justify opting for Office 2024 over free alternatives like LibreOffice or OnlyOffice, which deliver similar functionalities without any cost.
