Hi @infinitypulse

Regarding activating or updating Office, you can download the installation or update package files through ODT on other devices with Internet access, and transfer them to the server for installation or updating.

For volume licensed versions of Office, such as Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024, you will need MAK or KMS activation method.

If you use KMS, you just need to regularly connect to KMS host in your local LAN to activate KMS client, no need to connect to the external network.

If you use MAK, initial activation requires an Internet connection, but subsequent activations generally do not require an Internet connection unless there are major hardware changes, the Office re-installation.
