This article breaks down the pricing structure of Microsoft Office 2024 and explains why working with a trusted Microsoft Gold like DirectDeals ensures a smoother licensing experience.
What Is Microsoft Office 2024?
Microsoft Office 2024 is the next long-term servicing channel (LTSC) version of the Office productivity suite.
It is expected to feature updated versions of core applications like:
- Microsoft Word 2024
- Microsoft Excel 2024
- Microsoft PowerPoint 2024
- Microsoft Outlook 2024
