Stack Social/ZDNETProject management is key for companies, no matter the size, but can be a challenge. Software solutions can help maximize precision and efficiency. Two popular options are Microsoft Project Professional 2024 and Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 for Windows — both of which are currently on major discount through Stack Social. Both platforms are on sale for $80, down from their usual prices of $1,130 for Project Professional and $580 for Visio Professional.Microsoft Project Professional is a user-friendly option for managing projects from start to finish, and includes pre-built templates, timesheet submissions, and visual representations of complex schedules and timelines. It syncs with Project Online and Project Service, and supports Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) and is compatible with Office LTSC and Office 2024. Microsoft Visio Professional is a diagramming software that helps visually represent complex data, processes, and workflows across different industries, including IT, engineering, business, and architecture. It offers a number of different diagram types (including flowcharts, process maps, floor plans, network diagrams, and organizational charts), templates, and real-time collaboration. A caveat: While Stack Social is an authorized Microsoft partner and offers “lifetime” access to Microsoft Project Professional and Visio Professional, it is possible that Microsoft could end the license. But the site has been running these Microsoft deals for years, and I can personally vouch for them — I purchased an Office license from Stack Social about two years ago, and it’s still working on my personal MacBook today. Save big when you buy either Microsoft Project Professional 2024 or Microsoft Visio Professional 2024 for Windows right now.  More

While Stack Social is an authorized Microsoft partner and offers “lifetime” access to Office, it is possible that Microsoft could end the license. But the site has been running these Microsoft deals for years now, and ZDNET’s Alison DeNisco Rayome can personally vouch for them — she purchased an Office license from Stack Social about two years ago, and it’s still working on her personal MacBook today. While this bundle deal offers a lot, you won’t get the benefits of the latest Microsoft Office 365 subscription, so if you’re looking for Microsoft 365, this deal may not be for you (though Stack Social does have a discount on Office 365, too.)
