How to Install Office 2024 Professional PLUS LTSC Using the Deployment Tool

Why Use the Office Deployment Tool?

✅ Total customization control – pick 64‑bit vs 32‑bit, language packs, apps, update channel, and silent install with auto‑EULA acceptance.
🛡️ Enterprise‑grade – ideal for volume licensing and deploying consistent setups across dozens of PCs.

Step 1: Download & Extract the Tool

• Head to the Microsoft Download Center and grab the latest Office Deployment Tool (ODT) (e.g., version 16.0.18827.20140 from June 17, 2025)

• Run the EXE to extract setup.exe and example configuration.xml files.

Step 2: Minimalist config.xml for Office 2024

Copy this into configuration.xml:

<Configuration>
  <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2024">
    <Product ID="ProPlus2024Volume">
      <Language ID="en-us"/>
    </Product>
  </Add>
  <Display Level="Full" AcceptEULA="TRUE"/>
</Configuration>

💡 Optional Tweaks:

• Add <PIDKEY> inside <Product> to input your key.

• Change OfficeClientEdition="64" to "32" if needed.

• Product ID="ProPlus2024Volume" → Switch to:

  • ProPlus2021Volume for Office 2021

  • ProPlus2019Volume for Office 2019

  • ProPlus2016Volume for Office 2016

• Language ID="en-us" → Use "fr-fr" (French), "es-es" (Spanish), "de-de" (German), etc.

• Switch Channel="PerpetualVL2024" to PerpetualVL2021 or PerpetualVL2019 for Office 2021/2019 installs.

• To strip out apps like Teams or Publisher, insert <ExcludeApp ID="Teams"/> under <Add>.

• Preserve previous setups? Add <RemoveMSI/> for legacy Office removal

If you prefer not to edit XML manually, Microsoft also provides the Office Customization Tool, a visual interface that lets you generate your configuration file step by step, ideal for users with no coding experience.

Step 3: Install Office

• Open Command Prompt as Admin

Reach the folder where you extracted the Deployment Tool.

cd %userprofile%\Desktop\Office 

or manually cd path to the folder where ODT is extracted.

then execute this command : 
setup.exe /download configuration.xml

Then execute the install after completing download : 
setup.exe /configure configuration.xml

💡 Silent installs feel like nothing happens, but we configured with “Full” instead to watch the installation progress.

✅ Watch for “Products configured successfully.”

Step 4: Verify Installation & Activate Office

After setup finishes, it’s time to check if everything installed correctly and activate your license.

🧭 Step 4.1 – Launch an Office App

Open Word, Excel, or any other Office app from the Start Menu.

🛠️ Step 4.2 – Check the Installed Version

1. Click File > Account

2. Under Product Information, you’ll see the version listed (e.g., Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 or Office LTSC 2021).
   ✅ Make sure it matches the version and edition you configured in your XML.

🔑 Step 4.3 – Activate Your License

If you did not include the PIDKEY in your configuration.xml, follow these steps:

1. Still under File > Account, click Change Product Key

2. Enter your purchased Volume License key

3. Click Activate

💡 Pro Tip: If activation fails, ensure your key matches the version installed. For example, a 2021 Pro PLUS VL key won’t work with a 2024 install.
