<div dir="auto">Hi Mark,</div>
<div dir="auto">No there isn't. Like I mentioned earlier I didn't scroll down far enough to see the LTSC version on TechSoup. That is going to be the best option for our application. Thanks to everyone for their input. </div>

I'll echo Tim and Sam. Perpetually licensed Office 2024, LTSC or otherwise, seems the simplest choice for simply offering Word/Excel/etc on a computer for patron use, especially if they carry their own USB flash drives for storage.</div>

Colleen, is there a particular reason you are seeking to offer the Office 365 version? And if they really want cloud storage, could your patrons just sign-into Onedrive.com with their own personal Microsoft accounts and use Word and Excel in a browser, just
like Google Docs?</div>
