Unfortunately, I have not yet tried installing Office 2024 LTSC. I assume you are using Microsoft's instructions, linked below. Are you trying to install on already deployed PCs? I wonder if trying to install it on a fresh Windows 11 install would help? Not
ideal, but perhaps would be a good trial run to 1) make sure your procedure is right, and 2) make it easier to identify what the potential issue is?</div>

<div>While we're on the subject, I just ordered 13 licenses for Office LTSC Standard from TechSoup, and I'm having nothing but trouble installing it. I've followed their instructions to the T, and can't get it to work. Does anyone have any insight on it? TechSoup

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>
