What is LTSC?
Long Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) is Microsoft’s special release vehicle for enterprises that require a locked-down, feature-stable version of Office. Unlike Microsoft 365 Apps for business, which receives continuous feature updates, LTSC releases are static. Office LTSC 2024 will not gain new features over time—only security and critical bug fixes.
