Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Professional is a comprehensive integrated development environment (IDE) that equips individual developers and small teams with the tools to build, debug, and deploy applications across web, desktop, mobile, and cloud platforms. This 12-month subscription license provides full access to the Professional edition’s advanced capabilities—including CodeLens, IntelliTest, and live dependency validation—without the commitment of a perpetual licence. It is an ideal solution for developers who want to align their tooling costs with project cycles or fiscal budgets, ensuring they always have the latest updates and patches during the subscription term. Delivered digitally by Lizensa, the licence key and activation instructions arrive within minutes, enabling you to start coding immediately. Whether you are a freelance contractor, part of a growing software house, or an IT administrator provisioning tools for a team, this subscription offers a compliant, EU-ready licensing model with clear activation guidance and ongoing support.

When you buy the Microsoft Visual Studio 2019 Professional 12-month subscription from Lizensa, you receive a genuine digital licence key delivered by email and stored in your customer account. The licence is a named-user subscription valid for one developer for 12 months from the date of activation. During the subscription period, you are entitled to install and use all updates and patches released for Visual Studio 2019 Professional. Activation is performed by signing into the IDE with a Microsoft account and entering the provided product key. The subscription does not include Visual Studio Enterprise features, Azure credits, or access to the Visual Studio subscriptions admin portal; those are reserved for Enterprise and Visual Studio Subscription agreements. You also receive a downloadable VAT invoice suitable for business accounting and tax purposes. The software itself is downloaded directly from Microsoft’s official servers, ensuring you always obtain a clean, unmodified installation package.
Visual Studio 2019 is available in three main editions: Community, Professional, and Enterprise. Community is free for individual developers, open-source projects, academic research, and small professional teams (up to five users) but carries usage restrictions for enterprise organisations. Professional removes those restrictions and adds CodeLens, IntelliTest, code maps, and live dependency validation, making it the baseline for commercial software development in a business setting. Enterprise extends Professional with advanced testing tools (Live Unit Testing, IntelliTrace, Fakes), deeper architectural analysis, and priority support. For most professional developers and small-to-medium teams, the Professional edition delivers the right balance of productivity and cost. The 12-month subscription term is ideal if you prefer operational expenditure over capital expenditure, need to align licensing with project timelines, or want the flexibility to reassess your tooling each year. If you require perpetual rights, Lizensa also offers Visual Studio 2022 Professional as a one-time purchase.
Visual Studio 2019 Professional runs on Windows 10 version 1703 or higher, Windows Server 2016 or higher, and Windows 8.1 (with Update 2919355). A 64-bit operating system is recommended, though 32-bit is supported for certain workloads. Microsoft specifies a minimum of 2 GB of RAM, but 4 GB or more is strongly recommended for a responsive development experience, especially when running emulators or containers. Hard disk space requirements start at 2 GB for a minimal installation, though a full installation with multiple workloads can consume 20–50 GB. An internet connection is required for product activation and to download optional components. The IDE interface and documentation are available in English, German, French, Dutch, and Polish. Exact requirements vary depending on the workloads and individual components you select during installation; always validate against the official Microsoft documentation before provisioning machines.
After completing your purchase at Lizensa, you will receive an email within minutes containing your unique product key and a link to the official Visual Studio 2019 Professional download page. You can also access these details anytime from your Lizensa customer account. Download the installer from Microsoft’s website, run it, and select the workloads relevant to your development needs. When prompted, sign in with your Microsoft account and enter the product key. The 12-month subscription period begins on the date of successful activation. If you need to reinstall the software on the same machine or move it to a new device, you can deactivate the licence from the original installation and reactivate it on the replacement hardware. Lizensa’s EU-based support team is available to assist with any activation or installation questions.
