Microsoft Office LTSC 2024 Standard

What you get

The five applications that cover almost all office work: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook and OneNote. One PC, activated permanently, paid for once.

The only difference with Professional Plus

Access. That is the entire gap between this edition and Office LTSC 2024 Professional Plus, which costs ten dollars more. Same Word, same Excel, same support window to October 2029, same offline behaviour. If you have never opened Access and cannot name something you would build in it, this is your edition.

Cheaper than buying the applications one by one

We also sell Word, Excel and PowerPoint separately, which makes sense when you genuinely need one of them.

If you need all three, this suite costs less than the three licences bought individually, and it adds Outlook and OneNote on top. Compare before you order rather than after.

Who it suits

Students writing dissertations. Freelancers invoicing in Excel. Teachers building slide decks. Small offices that need Outlook on a shared machine. None of them touch a database, and none of them should pay for one.

Worth knowing before you decide: Microsoft 365 asks for a recurring payment on an international card, which rules it out for a lot of people. This licence takes one payment from your mobile wallet and then leaves you alone. Our article on Office 2024 against Microsoft 365 sets out the full comparison, including what a one-time licence does not give you.

Installation and activation

1. Remove any older Office version. Leaving one in place makes the install fail.
2. Download the suite from the link sent with your key.
3. Launch Word, open Account, enter the product key.

Runs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 with 4 GB of RAM and 4 GB of free space. Once activated it works offline, which is the point of the LTSC channel: the feature set never changes, and you get security fixes instead of a stream of new buttons.

Paying without a credit card

This is the part that blocks most of our customers. International platforms want a Visa or Mastercard, and plenty of people across Africa do not have one. Here the payment goes through the mobile wallet you already use, straight from your phone.

We accept MTN MoMo, Orange Money, Airtel Money, Moov Money, Wave, M-Pesa, Telecel Cash, AT Money, Free Money, Vodacom, Tigo and Halotel, depending on where you are. Fourteen countries are covered: Cameroon, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Ghana, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Benin, Burkina Faso, Gabon, Congo, DR Congo and Sierra Leone. PayPal and card payments work everywhere else.

Pick your country at checkout and you only see the wallets that actually work there. The price appears in your local currency.
