Buy Microsoft Project 2010 – Licenses for legacy systems & older infrastructures

Microsoft Project 2010 is one of the oldest versions of Project that we still offer at Lizenzindustrie. Microsoft support for it ended back in 2020—yet even today, there are still specific use cases where a Project 2010 license is required. Whether it’s for maintaining existing systems, running older hardware, managing Office 2010-based infrastructures, or meeting specific compatibility requirements with Project Server 2010 environments, at Lizenzindustrie you can obtain a verified Project 2010 license—delivered immediately via email at an affordable price.

Important Note: Since Microsoft stopped providing security updates for Project 2010 in October 2020, we recommend using it exclusively in fully isolated environments without internet access. For all other purposes, we recommend at least Project 2019 or Project 2021.

For whom is Project 2010 still relevant today?

The demand for Project 2010 licenses today is highly specialized. It comes almost exclusively from sectors where older IT infrastructures are in use that, for technical, economic, or regulatory reasons, cannot easily be migrated to a newer version.

Typical scenarios include companies that have standardized their entire Office infrastructure on Office 2010 and need Project as a compatible addition—without version incompatibilities in existing project plans and templates. Especially in environments with Project Server 2010, the desktop version of Project 2010 is the only fully compatible client version.

Similarly, IT service providers occasionally need Project 2010 licenses for the maintenance or recovery of existing systems where the original license is no longer available. And for older hardware that no longer supports newer versions of Project due to operating system requirements, Project 2010 is often the last viable option.

Project 2010 Editions at a Glance

Highly recommended: Upgrade to a newer version

If you have a free choice and there are no compelling technical reasons to use Project 2010, switching to a more modern version is definitely the better decision. The differences in security, feature set, and compatibility between Project 2010 and current versions are significant:

• Project 2019 – A noticeably more modern interface, improved reporting capabilities, better SharePoint integration, and active support. The most affordable way to get started with a Project version that’s still supported.
• Project 2021 – The most well-rounded Project version with a modernized user interface, a long support period through 2026, and the best value for your money.
• Project 2024 – The latest version with the most up-to-date features, improved Teams integration, and the longest available support period.
