Is it possible ot upgrade Visual Studio 2017 Pro standalone license to Visual Studio 2019 Pro standalone license?

Hello,

Our company develops commercial software and has ~230 PCs/~180 Users. Among them there are ~50 developers (Java, RAD Studio, VS Code, etc.) and only 15 are working in Visual Studio. Currently we have 15 standalone licenses for VS 2019 Pro (without MSDN subscription).

VS 2022 was announced recently and we are looking forward for an upgrade path, so:

  1. Will it be possible to upgrade VS 2019 Pro standalone license to VS 2022 Pro standalone license for a lesser price that buying new VS 2022 Pro standalone license (which is expected to be $499)?

  2. If there is no information about VS 2022 licensing yet - what options are available for today if we for example owned 15 standalone licenses for VS 2017 Pro and wanted to upgrade them to VS 2019 Pro standalone licenses at the lowest possible price?

Thank you in advance

Hello @34230340 ,

Welcome and thanks for taking time to post this question in Microsoft Q&A forum.

First of all, I suggest you select and contact Sales Support here: Visual Studio Subscription Support to better confirm this.

Will it be possible to upgrade VS 2019 Pro standalone license to VS 2022 Pro standalone license for a lesser price…

Based on my check, I think there isn’t any discount for “updating” to use a newer version of Visual Studio(Professional/Enterprise).

If there is no information about VS 2022 licensing yet – what options are available for today if we for example owned 15 standalone licenses for VS 2017 Pro and wanted to upgrade them to VS 2019 Pro standalone licenses at the lowest possible price?

As you know, the first public preview of Visual Studio 2022 will be released this summer, so yes there is no information about VS 2022 licensing yet.

Generally, Renewal pricing will reflect a significant discount, but it is only available for existing subscriptions. And for a quite new version of VS, I strongly recommend you contact the Sales Support for more detailed and professional information.
