Microsoft had announced a new version of Office, Microsoft Office 2021, and a new long-term service channel, Office LTSC 2021.
Η company αποκάλυψε χθες ότι το Office LTSC 2021 είναι πλέον διαθέσιμο και ότι το Office 2021 θα είναι διαθέσιμο από τις 5 Οκτωβρίου 2021, (μαζί με το επερχόμενο Windows 11).
Office LTSC 2021 is designed for Enterprise customers, organizations and business customers. This version of Office will be supported for 5 years by Microsoft, just like Windows Enterprise LTSC versions. Microsoft used to support Windows 10 LTSC for 10 years, but decided to synchronize it support for Office products. Of course the sync could have been set at 10 years for both products, but Microsoft chose the 5 year support range, for obvious reasons ($$$$).
Η announcement by Jared Sparato, Corporate Vice President for Microsoft 365, focuses on the upcoming Office LTSC 2021 and reveals some tidbits.
Sparato says the current version of Office LTSC 2021 will not be the latest release, and that Microsoft will continue its efforts to adopt the Microsoft 365 subscription service in the cloud (for obvious reasons).
The following Office LTSC 2021 products will be offered to customers with volume licensing:
- Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 (Access, Excel, OneNote, Outlook, PowerPoint, Publisher, Skype for Business, Teams, and Word)
- Office LTSC Standard 2021
- Project Professional 2021
- Project Standard 2021
- Vision LTSC Professional 2021
- Vision LTSC Standard 2021
Office versions will be supported on Microsoft's Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating systems. The users of Mac OS will be able to purchase Office LTSC Standard for Mac 2021. Access and Publisher will not be available in the version for Mac systems.
