Windows 10: LTSB/LTSC licensing question

Hi, I have a scenario where I believe that an error of judgment has been made around licensing and want to confirm that what I think is going on isn't right.


We currently have a Microsoft licensing program (not sure of the current one as I no longer have access) but we were on a VL product of some sort.

Whatever the program is it still allows us access to LTSB/LTSC as we are using it internally.


We are in the UK and have European partners that do contract work for us. We have a need for LTSB/LTSC (isolated, mission critical workstations with no internet access). I am aware of the ability to add other organisations to our agreement using the affiliate program and that it covers the EU/EFTA.


The reason I have been given for not being able to use LTSB/LTSC is that the equipment is leaving the UK (by the person managing our licensing within the organization).


My question is, are there any possible Volume Licensing program scenario's where you would have access to LTSB/LTSC and not be able to use the functionality of the affiliate program?


Thanks in Advance.

LTSB > LTSC

Hi there Boban, heres a short explanation from Microsoft:

Windows 10 LTSC/LTSB: Due to naming changes, product versions that display Windows 10 LTSB will be replaced with Windows 10 LTSC in subsequent feature updates. The term LTSC is used here to refer to all long term servicing versions.

It looks like itll automatically upgrade for you over the course of updates.

 

LTSB > LTSC

Hello,

Can I upgrade my LTSB 2016 to LTSC with the same Key?

 

Windows 10 LTSC Upgrade - Missing Photo App

Hello,

We recently started to deploy Windows 10 LTSC as it addressed the indexing issues that resided in 2016 LTSB. I discovered today that the Windows 10 LTSC 2019 build (version 1809) is missing the default photo app. It is opening all JPEGs in paint. This issue
didn't exist in the previous build as the app was still there. A quick search around the forum showed up with no results.
