Hi Prakash, Microsoft no longer sells Microsoft Office Professional 2021, and they have not introduced Office Professional 2024.

Ron, I know I'm late to this thread, but I want to thank you for clarifying what everyone else seems to be clueless about. Even ChatGPT seems to think that both 2021 and 2024 Professional are available for home purchase. I suppose I should be surprised that the "Microsoft Agent" above was similarly clueless, but I'm not. 😏 Cheers!

For an overview of these LTSC licenses, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/ltsc/2024/overview.

As I alluded to in my first reply, I'm looking for a version of Office *Professional* (i.e., includes Access) for *home* use. Does that describe the LTSC product?

Not at all. Office LTSC is volume license, for (large) organizations.

At the moment, there are two perpetual licenses for personal use: Office Home 2024 and Office Home & Business 2024.

Note that this thread is posted in the "For business" category.

Yup. That is my understanding.
