[OPLINTECH] O365 for public

[Colleen Sandusky]

Hi Mark,
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.

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.

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?

Thanks,
