Project 2016 and Project 2019 Reach End of Support on October 14, 2025

After this date, Project 2016 and Project 2019 will no longer receive security updates, bug fixes, or technical support. Using outdated software poses security risks, reduces productivity, and may cause compliance issues.

Upgrade Options for Continued Success

We strongly recommend upgrading before October 14, 2025. Here are your options:

Planner and Project Plan 3: This provides the most comprehensive solution with web and desktop apps for Planner and Project. It includes access to Microsoft 365 Copilot in Planner for creating plans, goals, and tasks (final pricing to be announced).
Microsoft 365 Plans: Get Planner within Microsoft 365 for individual task management and project planning. Users with a Planner and Project Plan 3/5 license can edit premium plans created by others.
Project Standard/Professional 2024: Available as a one-time purchase with volume licensing, these offer familiar features with some new additions.
Additional Resources and Considerations

Project Server 2016/2019 End of Support (July 14, 2026): Planner and Project Plan 3 include the client software for on-premises Project Server, making it a great option for existing users.
FastTrack Services: For Microsoft 365 upgrades, consider using FastTrack for best practices, tools, and a smooth transition.
Other Microsoft Products: Several other Office products, including Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, Visio, and Word, also reach end of support in October 2025. Visit the Microsoft Lifecycle page for details.
