Microsoft Project at Livecards.net

This category covers Microsoft Project Professional, Microsoft's desktop app for planning and managing projects on Windows. Each key is a one-time licence with no subscription, and the app runs standalone on the PC. Livecards.net supplies the key, and activation always happens with Microsoft.

Neither version depends on Project Online, the cloud service Microsoft scheduled for retirement on September 30, 2026.

Project 2024 or Project 2021

On mobile, swipe left to compare all columns.

Project 2021 won't work on a PC with a different version of Office installed, so it pairs with Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2021. Project 2024 sits alongside Microsoft Office 2024 Professional Plus, and Office and Project combos are listed in the software bundle deals.

What Microsoft Project Is Used For

• Gantt charts and timelines for mapping every phase
• Linked tasks that reschedule when a date moves
• Resource views to balance workloads across people
• Cost and budget tracking against the plan
• Built-in reports on progress and performance

Microsoft Project FAQ

Does Microsoft Project need Project Online?

No. Project 2024 Professional and Project Pro 2021 are standalone desktop apps, so they aren't affected by Project Online's retirement.

Is Project included with Microsoft Office?

No. Project is sold separately from every Office suite, though some software bundles combine the two.

Does Microsoft Project work on a Mac?

No. Both versions in this category are for Windows PCs only.

Which Project version should I buy?

Project 2024 Professional for most buyers. Project Pro 2021 makes sense when it needs to match an existing Office 2021 installation.
