    LTSC Professional Plus 2024 is a volume license product, intended for (large) organizations. If someone sold it to you and led you to believe that you purchased a consumer (home use) product, ask for your money back or perhaps a replacement product such as Office Home & Business 2024.

    I'm also trying to install the LTSC version, but the deployment tool seems to default to 365 and it's not working.
