“Office LTSC 2021 won’t receive any new features now that it has been released. Keep in mind that Office LTSC 2021 includes only some, but not all, features that are available in versions of Office that come with a Microsoft 365 (or Office 365) plan. It openly puts policies on perpetual license versions or limits what the software can do to push customers toward subscriptions. The Redmond giant vastly prefers customers opt for the subscription plans of those latter product names because the revenue is first, never-ending, and second, regular and thus knowable, more or less, in advance. These characteristics are just some of Office LTSC’s that Microsoft has long used to cast the perpetual license as second-class, or even third-class, when compared to the rent-not-buy Office 365 and Microsoft 365. Office LTSC 2021 will receive support up to October 2026 Let’s dive right into this and see what exactly are Redmond officials getting ready to introduce to the public.

Just last week, Microsoft announced the availability of the next edition of perpetual-license Office for commercial and government customers. This new Office suite, nicknamed Office LTSC 2021, is simply a subset of the feature catalog of Office 365, and its more expansive sibling Microsoft 365, which will remain unchanged until its support ends.
