Microsoft Office LTSC 2024 Professional Plus — Download, Install & Activate - DigitalKeysBox

Step-by-step guide for Windows 10/11. Suitable for MAK/Volume licenses.

Quick overview:

Uninstall older Office versions and reboot your PC.
Download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) and create a config for LTSC 2024.
Install Office 2024 Pro Plus silently or with a wizard.
Activate with your product key (MAK) and verify status.

Requirements

Windows 10 or Windows 11 (64-bit), fully updated.
Stable internet connection during installation/activation.
Administrator rights on the device.
Valid product key (MAK) for Office LTSC 2024 Pro Plus.

Step 1 — Remove previous Office versions

To avoid conflicts, completely remove older editions (Office 2016/2019/2021/365) before installing LTSC 2024.

Go to Settings → Apps → Installed apps, find all entries named “Microsoft Office” and uninstall them.
Restart your computer.
If needed, run the official Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant (SaRA) to clean leftovers.

Step 2 — Download and prepare installation

LTSC setup is done via the Office Deployment Tool (ODT).

Download Office Deployment Tool (officedeploymenttool.exe) from Microsoft and extract it into a folder, e.g. C:\Office2024.
Create a config file in that folder named config-ltsc2024.xml with the following content (don't forget to replace "YOUR PRODUCT KEY" with your actual product key):

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2024">
    <Product ID="ProPlus2024Volume" PIDKEY="YOUR PRODUCT KEY">
      <Language ID="en-us"/>
    </Product>
  </Add>
  <RemoveMSI />
  <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1"/>
  <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE"/>
</Configuration>

Notes:

OfficeClientEdition="64" — installs 64-bit version (recommended).
Display Level="None" — silent install (use Full for wizard interface).

Step 3 — Install Office LTSC 2024

Open Command Prompt as Administrator.
Navigate to the setup folder:
```
cd /d C:\Office2024
```

Run the following command:

setup.exe /configure config-ltsc2024.xml

Once complete, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Publisher, Access, and OneNote (optional) will be installed.

How to verify it’s LTSC 2024

Open any Office app → File → Account → check Product Information.
In Control Panel → Programs, the entry should show “LTSC 2024 / PerpetualVL2024”.

Troubleshooting

It still shows an older Office version

This can happen due to leftover cache. Try Repair in Apps → Microsoft Office → Modify → Repair. If not fixed, uninstall completely with SaRA and reinstall using ODT.

Conflict with Microsoft 365 subscription

Uninstall Microsoft 365 apps, sign out from Office apps, then install LTSC 2024. Mixing subscription and LTSC channels causes conflicts.

Wrong language/architecture

Edit config-ltsc2024.xml: set Language ID="en-us" (or ru-ru, es-es, etc.) and adjust OfficeClientEdition to 32 if needed. Reinstall with the new config.

FAQ

Do I need a Microsoft account? Not required for LTSC, activation is via product key. Only needed for OneDrive or syncing services.
How are updates delivered? LTSC receives only security and stability updates via Windows Update/Office CDN (PerpetualVL2024 channel).
Can I transfer the license? MAK keys are usually bound to the device once activated; transferability depends on your license terms.
