Project Professional and Microsoft Volume Licensing Centre

[duzzie]

Hi, I have been asked to install Project Professional 2016 on 2 staff computers, when I go into my Microsoft Volume Licensing Center it shows a download available plus a MAK and KMS key. My question is because it shows does this mean we have a licence through the agreement, or do we need to purchase some licences? I was told by our previous Network Manager that just because it shows doesn't mean we can legally use it?

 

Any help is much appreciated.

It is an Additional Software Product, according to MS (much like Microsoft Office Visio). So, you'd need licenses for it I believe.

Thanks for the info, I didn't think it would be that easy. I will get in touch with our software provider regarding costs for additional licenses.

Have you looked at OpenProj? might be able to do it for free.

I mentioned the Open Office type route and was shot down, they think a paid solution is always the best option. I use open office and have never had any issues and it does everything I need it to do.
