Six desktop applications. One business-ready workflow.
Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 combines Microsoft’s familiar productivity tools with Access for relational databases, forms, queries and reports. Move from source data to decision-ready communication without changing suites.
Word 2024
Create polished contracts, reports, proposals and accessible business documents.

Access 2024
Build Windows desktop databases with tables, relationships, queries, forms and reports.
The Professional Plus advantage
Turn structured data into everyday business action.
Access is the key difference from Office LTSC Standard 2024. It gives Windows teams a practical way to organise related records, standardise data entry and produce repeatable reports inside the Office desktop environment.
One database. Better decisions.
Build a controlled source, then communicate the result.
Use Access to relate customer, project, inventory or service records. Analyse extracts in Excel, publish formal outputs in Word, present trends in PowerPoint, coordinate activity in Outlook and retain context in OneNote.
- Relational tables and relationships help reduce repeated data
- Queries turn stored records into focused operational answers
- Forms create more consistent data-entry experiences
- Reports transform records into printable, structured summaries
- VBA and trusted add-ins can support established workflows

Compatibility first
Check Windows, architecture and deployment before buying.
These are Microsoft’s published Office LTSC 2024 Windows requirements. The exact operating-system edition and selected licence entitlement matter.
Supported Windows
Windows 11, Windows 11 LTSC 2024, Windows 10 LTSC 2021 or 2019, Windows Server 2025 or 2022. Arm devices require Windows 11.
Processor
1.1 GHz or faster, 2-core processor. Check x86, x64 or Arm compatibility for the deployment.
Memory
4 GB RAM. Microsoft recommends 64-bit Office on devices with 4 GB or more unless compatibility requires 32-bit.
Storage
4 GB of available disk space on the system drive, plus room for updates and working files.
Display and graphics
1280 × 768 minimum. Direct3D 9.1+ with WDDM 1.3+ for acceleration; 64-bit Office for 4K and higher.
Connectivity
Internet is required for MAK activation and convenient CDN servicing. Eligible KMS environments can activate locally.
32-bit and 64-bit Office components cannot be mixed on the same device. Check existing Office, Project, Visio, Access databases, add-ins, ActiveX controls and VBA before selecting the installer.
Licensing and deployment
Match the licence to the real environment.
Professional Plus is commonly associated with commercial and volume-licensing scenarios, but the rights in the chosen listing and supplied agreement are authoritative. Device count alone does not define every deployment right.
Device-based entitlement
Confirm how many devices the selected option covers and whether reassignment or replacement rights apply.
MAK or KMS activation
Multiple Activation Key and Key Management Service models serve different deployment sizes and network conditions.
Managed deployment
IT teams can plan architecture, language, update channel and exclusions through supported deployment tooling.
32-bit or 64-bit
Use 64-bit for larger data workloads unless a critical legacy add-in, control or integration requires 32-bit.
RDS and shared environments
Remote Desktop Services, terminal services and shared-computer scenarios require the correct licensing and deployment rights.
Remove conflicts first
Inventory existing Office products and uninstall incompatible versions before a production rollout.
Who should choose Professional Plus?
A strong fit for data-led Windows workflows.
Professional Plus is most compelling when Access is a genuine requirement and a stable feature set is more valuable than continuous cloud innovation.
Small and midsize business
Run documents, budgets, presentations, business email and department databases from one desktop suite.
Operations and analysts
Connect structured records with Excel models, recurring reports and decision-ready presentations.
Access database teams
Maintain established Access solutions or build controlled departmental tools on Windows.
Managed organisations
Standardise a predictable Office release across appropriately licensed devices and supported Windows editions.
Consultants and specialists
Combine formal deliverables, analysis, presentations, client communication and structured project data.
Choose Microsoft 365 instead when…
You need real-time cloud co-authoring, continually released features or eligible Copilot services.

Frequently asked questions
Office 2024 Professional Plus answers before checkout.
Is Microsoft Office 2024 Professional Plus a subscription?
No. Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 is a device-based, perpetual commercial release. It does not include automatic rights to a future major Office version.
Which applications are included?
Microsoft lists Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote and Access. Skype for Business can be optionally installed in supported deployments.
What is the main difference between Professional Plus and Standard?
Access is included with Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 and is not included with Office LTSC Standard 2024. Both contain the five core desktop apps.
Does Professional Plus include Microsoft Copilot or AI automation?
No. Microsoft states that Office LTSC 2024 does not include AI-driven automation. Copilot requires separate eligible Microsoft 365 and Copilot licensing.
Does it include Microsoft Teams?
No. Teams is not preinstalled with Office LTSC 2024. It is a separate download and service entitlement.
Does it include Microsoft Publisher?
No. Publisher is not included in Office LTSC 2024. Do not choose this product if Publisher is an essential requirement.
Is Access available on Mac?
No. Microsoft Access is a Windows desktop application. This Professional Plus listing is for supported Windows environments.
What can I build with Access 2024?
Access can create relational databases with tables, relationships, queries, forms and reports for suitable desktop or departmental workflows.
Does the Access Dataverse connector include Power Platform licensing?
No. The connector is a capability; Microsoft Dataverse and related Power Platform services can require separate accounts, plans and entitlements.
Can I install 32-bit and 64-bit Office products together?
No. Office components on the same device must use the same architecture. Check Project, Visio, add-ins, controls and existing Office products.
Should I choose 32-bit or 64-bit Office?
Microsoft generally recommends 64-bit Office on devices with 4 GB or more RAM. Choose 32-bit only when required by a critical legacy integration or add-in.
Does Office LTSC 2024 receive updates?
Yes. It receives security and quality updates, typically monthly, but no new post-release features are added to the fixed 2024 feature set.
How long is Office LTSC 2024 supported?
Microsoft lists support through 9 October 2029 under the Fixed Lifecycle Policy, with no extended support period.
Can I use the apps without continuous internet access?
Yes. The desktop apps can work without continuous connectivity. Internet is useful for download, MAK activation, updates and any separately licensed cloud service.
Is this suitable for ordinary Windows 10 Home or Pro?
Microsoft’s current Office LTSC 2024 requirements specifically list Windows 10 LTSC 2021 and 2019, not every Windows 10 edition. Confirm your exact edition before purchase.
Does it support Windows 11 on Arm?
Microsoft lists Arm-based support with Windows 11. Check the required architecture, drivers, add-ins and deployment method before rollout.
Can it be used on Windows Server or Remote Desktop Services?
Microsoft lists Windows Server 2025 and 2022 as supported operating systems, but server, RDS and shared-use rights depend on the exact licence agreement and deployment model.
What are MAK and KMS?
MAK activates devices against Microsoft and requires internet connectivity. KMS lets eligible managed environments activate supported clients through a local host.
Does Office 2024 support VBA macros?
Yes. Test every important macro, add-in and ActiveX dependency for policy, version and 32-bit or 64-bit compatibility before deployment.
Can Office 2024 be installed beside an older Office version?
Mixed installations can conflict. Inventory the device and remove incompatible earlier Office components before a production installation.
Will existing Office and Access files open?
Office 2024 supports familiar Microsoft Office formats and ODF 1.4. Test complex templates, databases, macros, references and add-ins before a large rollout.
Does Office LTSC include real-time co-authoring?
Not as a core LTSC capability. Microsoft identifies real-time collaboration and the newest cloud-backed features as absent from Office LTSC 2024.
Can I transfer the licence to another device?
Transfer and reassignment rights depend on the exact licence supplied. Review the selected option and licence terms instead of assuming retail-style transfer rights.
How is the product delivered?
It is a digital product. Fulfilment and installation guidance is sent after successful payment and any required order verification.
What should I check before buying?
Confirm edition, device quantity, activation type, deployment rights, Windows edition, architecture, language, RDS needs and every essential database, macro or add-in dependency.
Technical details were checked against Microsoft’s official Office LTSC 2024 overview, Office 2024 feature guide and lifecycle record. The selected product listing and supplied licence terms remain authoritative.
