Buy Microsoft Project 2016 – Reliable project management for existing infrastructure

Microsoft Project 2016 is one of the most reliable and widely used versions of Project that Microsoft has ever released. In many companies, project offices, and IT departments, Project 2016 is still in daily use today—stable, proven, and fully integrated into existing Office 2016 infrastructures. At Lizenzindustrie, you can purchase Project 2016 as a verified license—delivered immediately via email at one of the most competitive prices on the market.

For whom is Project 2016 still the right choice today?

Demand for Project 2016 licenses today comes almost exclusively from the professional sector—and there are understandable reasons for this. Many companies operate IT infrastructures in which software must run stably for years, and upgrading to a newer version is not immediately possible for technical, organizational, or economic reasons.

In standardized Office 2016 environments, Project 2016 is the logical and compatible addition. Documents, templates, and project plans created in Project 2016 remain fully compatible—without the need for conversion, without unexpected layout changes, and without the risk of version incompatibility in existing workflows.

In addition, there are IT departments and project offices that require Project 2016 licenses to expand or maintain existing installations. Those who have built existing project templates, macros, and customized views in Project 2016 and do not wish to migrate them are well-served by a replacement or extension license.

Project 2016 Editions at a Glance

• Project Standard 2016
• The entry-level edition with all basic project management features—Gantt charts, resource planning, baseline tracking, critical path, and reporting functions. This is the right option for project managers in existing Project 2016 environments who need a replacement or extension license for Standard installations.
• Project Professional 2016
• The full range of Project 2016 features, including integration with Microsoft Project Server, advanced team collaboration, resource leveling across multiple projects, and advanced reporting capabilities. Ideal for professional project managers and PMOs in existing Project 2016 infrastructures who require the full functionality of the Professional Edition.

Prefer to upgrade to a newer version?

If your IT infrastructure allows for an upgrade and there are no compelling reasons to stick with Project 2016, it’s worth looking into more recent versions. Newer versions of Project offer more modern user interfaces, improved reporting capabilities, and active Microsoft support:

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

Frequently Asked Questions About Microsoft Project 2016

Is Project 2016 still supported by Microsoft?

Microsoft discontinued extended support for Project 2016 in October 2025. Security updates are no longer provided. For systems in production, we recommend Project 2019 or Project 2021. For existing infrastructures with isolated environments, Project 2016 remains a valid option.

Does Project 2016 run on Windows 11?

Project 2016 is generally compatible with Windows 11, but Microsoft no longer officially supports this combination. In practice, Project 2016 runs without issues on Windows 11 in most cases. However, for new Windows 11 systems, we recommend at least Project 2019.

What is the difference between Project 2016 Standard and Professional?

Project 2016 Standard includes all basic project management features. Project 2016 Professional adds integration with Project Server, advanced team collaboration, and resource leveling across multiple projects. For professional enterprise use with Project Server, Professional is the recommended choice.

Can I transfer my Project 2016 license to a new PC?

Yes. Retail licenses, such as those we offer at Lizenzindustrie, can be easily transferred when switching devices. Simply deactivate the license on the old device and activate it on the new one—it’s easy and at no additional cost.

How quickly will I receive my license key?

Immediately after purchase—your activation key will be automatically sent to you via email. Activation via the official Microsoft servers then takes only a few minutes.
