Microsoft announced the launch of Microsoft Office Long Term Servicing Channel and Office 2021 later this year for clients who don't want to get an Office 365 cloud subscription service.
These are the company's next perpetual and one-time purchase Office releases, respectively, both of them to get a five-year support lifecycle after Microsoft reduced Office LTSC and Windows 10 LTSC lifecycles from 10 to 5 years.
A commercial preview of Microsoft Office LTSC will be made available in April 2021.
The official Office LTSC and 2021 releases are planned for the second half of 2021.
"Both Office LTSC and Windows 10 LTSC will remain governed by the Fixed Lifecycle Policy."
"Both products will be supported for five years, and both the next perpetual version of Office LTSC and Windows 10 LTSC will be released in the second half of this calendar year."
