Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus LTSC – Lifetime licence (1 PC)

Microsoft Office 2016 Professional Plus LTSC is the Long Term Servicing Channel edition of the suite for 1 PC. It is meant for stable IT environments where the software should stay exactly the same from one year to the next. It is a one-off purchase with no subscription and no unexpected change of interface.

Applications in the suite

• Word 2016: word processing, styles, mail merge, reviewing and change tracking.
• Excel 2016: spreadsheets, pivot tables, Power Query and VBA macros.
• PowerPoint 2016: presentations, animations and Presenter view.
• Outlook 2016: mail, calendar, contacts, and Exchange and IMAP accounts.
• Access 2016: local relational databases.
• Publisher 2016: layout for printed material.
• OneNote 2016: a digital notebook.

LTSC compared with Retail

An LTSC version receives no feature updates; during its support cycle only security patches are issued. It has no cloud features, such as real-time co-authoring or automatic saving to OneDrive, and no AI assistants. In exchange, its behaviour never changes, which matters for production PCs, industrial settings and business-critical macros. The Retail version, by contrast, is tied to a Microsoft account and leans more towards online services.

Good to know before you order

Office 2016 has reached end of support. The suite works fully and its file formats are compatible with recent versions, but security patches are no longer published. This licence suits older machines, offline PCs and local office work.

• Windows 7 SP1, 8.1, 10 or 11
• 1 GHz SSE2 processor and 2 GB of RAM
• 3 GB of available disk space

Activation and delivery

The key is sent by e-mail within 24 hours of payment together with the activation steps, and an official invoice is included. Support is available in English by e-mail and live chat.
