Office 2024 Professional Plus is the on-premises perpetual release of Microsoft's core productivity apps for Windows. It runs entirely offline once installed and does not connect to Microsoft 365 cloud services.
One-time purchase – No recurring subscription tied to the install.
Locked feature set – Apps stay stable; no surprise UI changes.
Local Access database – Build .accdb files without a cloud account.
VBA macros – Existing Excel and Word automations keep working.
Offline workflow – Works on isolated or restricted-network machines.
Familiar ribbon – Same layout your team already knows from 2019 and 2021.
It installs the classic Windows desktop versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, and Access on a single PC. The suite handles document creation, spreadsheet modeling with the new dynamic array chart references and 14 new text/array functions in Excel 2024, slide design with PowerPoint's cameo feature, and local Access database files. Everything runs locally without Microsoft 365 cloud sync. Project and Visio are sold separately and are not part of this package.
It fits organizations and power users who need Access and a perpetual offline Office install on Windows. The included Access desktop database is the main reason to choose Professional Plus over Office Home & Business or Standard — if your workflow depends on .accdb files, Access reports, or VBA-driven forms, this is the only 2024 perpetual edition that ships it. Teams and Microsoft 365 cloud services are not part of the package, so it is not the right pick for organizations that depend on Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, or co-authoring in OneDrive.
Professional Plus is the only 2024 perpetual edition that includes Access on Windows. Office Home 2024 ships only Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote; Office Home & Business 2024 adds Outlook; Office Standard 2024 adds Publisher (where licensed) but no Access. None of these editions include Microsoft Teams or OneDrive cloud services. The table below summarizes which classic desktop apps each edition installs.
| Application | Home 2024 | Home & Business 2024 | Professional Plus 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Word | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Excel | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| PowerPoint | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| OneNote | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Outlook | ✕ | ✓ | ✓ |
| Access | ✕ | ✕ | ✓ |
| Publisher | ✕ | ✕ | ✕ |
| Teams (preinstalled) | ✕ | ✕ | ✕ |
Microsoft Publisher is not included — Publisher has been retired by Microsoft and will no longer be supported after October 2026. Microsoft Teams is not preinstalled with Office 2024 and must be downloaded separately if needed. Office 2024 does not include Microsoft 365 cloud services such as Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, or 1 TB OneDrive storage, and it does not receive feature updates after launch. The "Publish to Power BI" feature has also been removed from Excel 2024; existing workbooks can still be uploaded from Power BI workspaces instead.
Office 2024 Professional Plus is a one-time purchase that stays locked to its 2024 feature set, while Microsoft 365 is a subscription that adds Exchange Online, SharePoint Online, OneDrive storage, Microsoft Loop, Defender threat protection, and continuous feature updates. If your work depends on real-time co-authoring through OneDrive or hosted Exchange mailboxes, those features only exist in Microsoft 365. If you want a stable, offline-capable Office install that does not change over time, the perpetual 2024 release is the right fit.
Confirm Windows compatibility first: Office 2024 supports Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows 11 LTSC 2024, Windows 10 LTSC 2021/2019, Windows Server 2022, and Windows Server 2025. Confirm you actually need Microsoft Access — it is the main reason to pick Professional Plus over Home & Business 2024. If you rely on Publisher .pub files, plan for migration since Publisher is not in any 2024 edition and Microsoft is retiring it in October 2026. On macOS, note that Access is not available, so the Professional Plus benefit does not extend to Mac installations.
