- Microsoft Office LTSC Standard for Mac 2024 (includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and OneNote)
- Microsoft Project Professional 2024

Microsoft said that Office LTSC 2024 will have "new features already available in Microsoft 365 Apps for enterprise" in addition to features from previous versions of Office, but Microsoft has not officially released details.
Office LTSC 2024 won't come with Microsoft Publisher or Microsoft Teams, nor will it have artificial intelligence features like Copilot like Microsoft 365.
Microsoft says Office LTSC 2024 will remain a device-based "perpetual buyout" license, supported for five years under a fixed lifecycle policy.
Microsoft said it will also launch Office LTSC Professional Plus, Office LTSC Standard, Office LTSC Embedded, and individual apps at a price increase of up to 10%. However, Microsoft confirmed that the price of the consumer version of Office 2024 will not increase.
