Office 2021 LTSC version fallback option or install older version?

[PhilipFranzke]

We are using Microsoft Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 volume licensed versions in our company environment and deploy automatic updates and installation via CDN.

Now the question arises whether, if necessary, we can go back to an older Office version (fallback) if the latest update causes problems. I have not found any options for this.

Another option would be to simply install an older version, but we run the updates and installs via CDN, so we don't have any older Office versions. I also could not find a way to install an older version via CDN (always only the latest version) or to download older versions separately.

I hope someone can help me here.Whether "fallbacks" are possible and where to get older Office 2021 LTSC versions?

Hi @PhilipFranzke,

Microsoft Office LTSC (Long-Term Servicing Channel) installations do not include a built-in mechanism for automatic rollback or downgrade to previous versions.

There isn't a direct option to revert to an older version or “fallback” if the latest update causes issues.

Hi @PhilipFranzke,

regarding your question about downloading older versions, unfortunately, as far as I know, there is no official website where you could download older versions of Microsoft Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021 to deploy it over your fileserver.
