Licensing Project
Microsoft Project offers flexible licensing for online and on-premises solutions for project portfolio management (PPM) and everyday work, enabling you to effectively execute and achieve strategic priorities.
Project cloud-based solutions are licensed on a per-user basis. You can purchase them as standalone plans or as an additional service with Office 365 plans. Project cloud-based solutions licensing details are available here.
Project Online Premium enables organizations to get started, prioritize project portfolio investments and deliver the intended business value from virtually anywhere.
Project Online Professional keeps your projects, resources, and teams organized and on track. Easily and efficiently plan projects, track status, and collaborate with others from virtually anywhere.
Project solutions for on-premises are available through Microsoft Volume Licensing. Project Server 2016 is licensed using a Server/CAL (Client Access License) model. PPM solutions require a Project Server 2016 license for each running instance of the software, and CALs are required for each person or device accessing a Project Server. Learn more about Project Server licensing here.
