Microsoft Project LTSC 2024 Professional
Complete technical guide to deploy Microsoft Project LTSC 2024 Professional using the Office Deployment Tool on Windows. Genuine MAK key — instant delivery across USA & Canada.
Microsoft Project LTSC 2024 Professional is the latest perpetual version of Microsoft's powerful project management software — designed for professionals and organisations that prefer a one-time-purchase model with long-term stability. It includes the full desktop version of Project 2024 Professional without requiring a Microsoft 365 subscription. As a volume-licensed product using the Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC), it delivers consistent performance with security updates and no feature changes over time — ideal for regulated environments or organisations that need a stable, predictable project management platform.

Buy Your Product Key Now →Download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT)
What is the Office Deployment Tool? The ODT is a free utility from Microsoft that allows you to download and install Project LTSC 2024 using a custom configuration file — instead of a traditional installer.
Go to the Microsoft Office Deployment Tool download page and click Download.
Create a new folder on your C: drive called Office2024Setup — so the full path is: C:\Office2024Setup
Run the downloaded ODT file and select that folder as the destination when asked where to extract the files.
setup.exe and sample XML configuration files. You may not see an EULA.txt file — that is completely normal.Create the Configuration File
Open Notepad on your Windows PC (search for it in the Start menu).
Copy and paste the following configuration code exactly as shown into Notepad:
<Configuration> <Add OfficeClientEdition="64" Channel="PerpetualVL2024"> <Product ID="ProjectPro2024Volume" PIDKEY="XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX"> <Language ID="en-us" /> </Product> </Add> <RemoveMSI /> <Display Level="None" AcceptEULA="TRUE" /> <Property Name="AUTOACTIVATE" Value="1" /> </Configuration>
Replace XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX with your actual 25-character product key from MMKeys. Copy it directly from your order email to avoid any errors.
Go to File → Save As and configure the following before saving:
— File name: configuration.xml
— Save as type: All Files
— Encoding: UTF-8
configuration.xml inside the C:\Office2024Setup folder — the same folder where setup.exe is located. Both files must be in the same folder for the installation commands to work.
Install Project LTSC 2024 via Command Prompt
Open Command Prompt as Administrator: press the Windows key, type cmd, then right-click on Command Prompt and select "Run as administrator" from the context menu.
Run the first command to navigate to your setup folder. Copy and paste exactly to avoid errors:
cd C:\Office2024Setup
C:\Office2024Setup with your actual folder path in this command.Once inside the correct folder, run the second command to start the installation:
setup.exe /configure configuration.xml
setup.exe and configuration.xml are located.• The Command Prompt returns to a blinking cursor showing
C:\Office2024Setup>• Microsoft Project 2024 appears in the Windows Start Menu
• You can successfully launch Project
Activate by Telephone
Project LTSC 2024 Professional uses telephone activation — not internet or Microsoft account activation. No Microsoft account is needed.
Open Microsoft Project from the Start menu.
The Activation Wizard will launch automatically on first use.
Select "I want to activate the software by telephone" and click Next.
Choose your country or region from the list and call the telephone number shown on screen. Follow the automated voice prompts — you will be asked to read out your Installation ID.
Enter the Confirmation ID provided by the telephone system into the Activation Wizard and click Next.
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1 | Download the Office Deployment Tool (ODT) and extract it to C:\Office2024Setup |
| 2 | Create configuration.xml using ProjectPro2024Volume as the Product ID and your MMKeys MAK key |
| 3 | Run setup.exe /configure configuration.xml via Command Prompt as Administrator — installation is silent |
| 4 | Open Project → Activation Wizard → select telephone activation → get and enter Confirmation ID |
"Couldn't install. We couldn't find the specified configuration file. Check the file path and file name."
Cause: This error typically occurs when Command Prompt was not opened as Administrator, or when the folder path in the first command does not match where your files are saved.
Solution:
- Make sure you opened Command Prompt by right-clicking → Run as administrator.
- Verify the path — if your files are in
C:\Office2024Setup, the first command must be exactly:cd C:\Office2024Setup - Confirm that both
setup.exeandconfiguration.xmlare present in the same folder before running the second command.
"Couldn't install. We're sorry, we had a problem installing your Microsoft 365 and Office program(s)." / "We can't install. To install this product, first uninstall the following product(s) and try again."
Cause: Remnants of previous Office or Project editions — or a background reinstall by Microsoft 365 or OneNote components — are blocking the LTSC 2024 installation from proceeding.
Solution — Clean removal steps:
- Press Windows + S, type Get Help, and open the app. Search for "Uninstall Office" and follow the guided steps to completely remove all previous Office and Project installations.
- Restart your PC when prompted.
- Delete any remaining Office folders manually after restarting:
—C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office
—C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office
—C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Office - Go to Settings → Apps → Installed Apps (or Control Panel → Programs and Features) and check for any remaining Microsoft 365 Apps or OneNote entries — uninstall them if present, as these can automatically reinstall older Office components in the background.
- Restart your PC one more time, then start fresh from Step 1 of this guide.
