Extension Attribute Perpetual License LTSC Office 2024

I have a script that shows exenstion attribute for the type of license installed for Office.   With the release of the Office 2024 LTSC license does anyone know if the script will be updated to add the information for the 2024 license?

I installed the LTSC 2024 serializer but it still reads 'office 2021 volume license'  and from the actual mac end the 'about word' shows 'Office LTSC Standard for Mac 2024'.  

Word version is 16.90.2

the script is called Office_License.sh (see below for the script).  Looks like an IF statement needs to be added for Office 2024 volume license

@tcandela You might want to try and determine the difference between the 2021 and 2024 LTSC and update the script yourself since @pbowden who wrote that script is apparently on extended medical leave from MS and has been offline for about a year.

@tcandela I can help update the script for you but I will need your help in testing the same. Feel free to dm me on jamf nation or slack @Samstar777 and we can work together on this.

I'm also VERY interested in this. The magic is in interpreting /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist but the "data" blocks are not encoded in any way I could easily decode (not that I tried too hard, i.e. it's not straightforward base64 encoded). Happy to provide any info I can.

@Samstar777 @JasonEgg  let me know when you update the EA script and I'll use it and run a recon to see if my test mac changes from 2021 license to 2024

@tcandela and @JasonEgg Could anyone of you can provide me with "com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist" file. This will help me find the unique identifier to write the logic to detect license information.

I sent some details to @Samstar777 

I am going to try to get more examples and find patterns on my own as well
