Start with compatibility. If you are setting up a new installation, Project Professional 2024 is the current option in this category. Choose an earlier edition when a client, colleague, template or established company setup requires that specific version. All four products are Professional editions of Microsoft Project, so the practical decision is usually the version your environment needs.

Microsoft Project Professional 2024: the current choice
Choose Microsoft Project Professional 2024 when you want the newest release sold on this page. It is designed for creating project plans, setting tasks and dependencies, allocating resources, following milestones and reviewing progress in a timeline or Gantt chart. It is the straightforward starting point for a new Windows installation where an older release is not required.
Microsoft Project Professional 2021: for a 2021 environment
Choose Microsoft Project Professional 2021 when your organisation already works with the 2021 release or when a customer requires it. It keeps project plans, task sequences, resource assignments and reports in the same generation as the rest of that environment. That can make internal roll-outs simpler when several computers must follow one approved software version.
Microsoft Project Professional 2019: for an established setup
Microsoft Project Professional 2019 is for installations that specifically need the 2019 edition. It covers the central work of creating schedules, linking tasks, assigning resources and monitoring delivery. Select it for compatibility with an established setup.
Microsoft Project Professional 2016: for legacy compatibility
Microsoft Project Professional 2016 is the oldest option in this category. It is intended for a legacy computer or workflow that has a clear requirement for this version. Before buying, check that your Windows setup and any templates, add-ins or file-sharing processes still match Project 2016.
Compare Microsoft Project Professional editions
Every product on this page is a Professional edition. The table focuses on the core planning work buyers expect from Project; the main difference is the release year. Yes means that the edition is intended to perform that type of project-planning task.
| Edition | Project plans | Gantt charts | Task dependencies | Resource allocation | Progress reports | Current category release |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Project Professional 2024 | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ | ✓ |

Version choice matters most when Project must fit an existing company standard. Ask the person responsible for your computers which release is approved. If you are buying for yourself, compare the product variant with your version of Windows before completing the order.
Microsoft Project licence pricing
Licendi sells genuine Microsoft keys, including resold permanent licences. With a resold licence, the right to use an existing licence is transferred to a new buyer. The software edition is named on the product page.
We keep the purchase practical: you receive an official download link, your key and a PDF invoice showing VAT. You also receive our one-month activation guarantee and access to support by email and chat.
Is it legal to buy a resold Microsoft Project licence?
Legal basis
Yes, provided the resale meets the conditions set by EU law. In UsedSoft v Oracle, Court of Justice of the European Union case C-128/11 of 3 July 2012, the Court established that permanent software licences may be resold in the EU under specific conditions:
- The first sale in the EU must have been made by the rightholder or with the rightholder's consent.
- The right of use must be granted for an unlimited period in return for a price that reflects the economic value of the copy.
- The seller must make its own copy unusable when the licence is resold.
- A multi-user licence must not be split and resold in parts.
At Licendi, your purchase comes with a PDF invoice showing VAT and a one-month activation guarantee. If the key does not activate on the first installation, write to us and we will fix it.
Microsoft Project requirements: check before you buy
- A Windows computer with a version supported by the Project edition you select.
- Sufficient processor performance, memory, storage space and display resolution for that edition.
- An internet connection to download the installer and complete activation.
- Administrator permission to install software on the computer.
- Compatibility with the Project files, templates and add-ins used by your team.
Tip: check your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit before ordering. If Project is already installed, record its exact edition first and keep a backup of your project files before changing the installation.
How to buy, download and activate Microsoft Project
- Choose your edition: select Project Professional 2024, 2021, 2019 or 2016 according to your Windows setup and the version your work requires. Enter the correct billing details at checkout.
- Receive the order by email: we send your genuine Microsoft key, official download link and PDF invoice showing VAT. Delivery is instant during office hours and takes no more than 24 hours outside them.
- Download, install and activate: follow the supplied instructions and enter the key when requested. If the key does not activate on the first installation, contact us by email or chat within the one-month activation-guarantee period and we will fix it.
Support, upgrades and Microsoft Project for business
Our support team helps by email and chat with the purchase, delivery and first activation. Your one-month activation guarantee applies when the key does not activate on the first installation. Keep the order email and invoice so that we can identify the product quickly if you contact us.
Microsoft support for Project 2016 and Project 2019 ended on 14 October 2025; support for Project 2021 ended on 13 October 2026. These editions can still be used with a permanent licence, but they no longer receive updates under Microsoft support.
A permanent licence covers the version purchased; a future major release is a separate product. Moving from Project 2016, 2019 or 2021 to Project 2024 therefore means buying the 2024 edition and checking its system requirements first. Back up active project files and confirm the compatibility of essential templates and add-ins before replacing an established installation.
For a business purchase, count the computers that need Microsoft Project and confirm one approved version across the team. Send us the number of licences required, the Windows version on each computer and the release your organisation uses. We can help you identify the matching product, and your PDF invoice will show VAT for your records.
