LTSC is enterprise edition. You cannot use a Pro key with Enterprise editions of Windows. Also, they are provided to the businesses and not recommended for general public...

Answer 2

Hello @Tord Meeg

LTSC is an enterprise version of Windows 10, they cannot take an in-place upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, Home, or Education. You must have a valid Windows 10 Enterprise license key if you want to abandon LTSB/LTSC and get fully patched to the latest build of Windows 10.
