It was recommended that I re-post this question in this area. It appears the answer to my question is no. Has anyone tried this or is it simply not possible?

My church is currently running Office Professional Plus 2019 on 4 computers. Our office person creates all of the Sunday bulletins and the annual report in Publisher. She says she uses Publisher more than any of the rest of the Office suite. I was going to upgrade the church to Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 but it doesn't have Publisher as part of the package due to it being discontinued. I was looking at what we can get with our TechSoup membership and I can get a license for Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 and Publisher LTSC 2021. Can I install these together or is something going to go wrong? I am considering not doing any upgrade since Publisher is the software of choice. Your thoughts and expertise would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,

    The Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 update channel is PerpetualVL2024.

    The Publisher LTSC 2021 update channel should be Publisher2021Volume.

    I try to install the 2 products in my PC as a test, I installed Office LTSC Professional Plus 2024 first, and then install Publisher LTSC 2021. After installing Publisher, I find the Office 2024 was removed from PC. It seems they are not supported in the same PC.

    Is it possible change to Office LTSC Professional Plus 2021? This version Office contain Publisher, you can both have Publisher and other products.
