Visual Studio Professional – The Industry Standard for EU Developers

When you choose Visual Studio Professional, you invest in a full-featured integrated development environment (IDE) trusted by millions. At Lizensa, we offer genuine Microsoft licenses for Visual Studio Professional 2022, 2025, and 2026 – all sourced within the EU, with transparent pricing, instant delivery, and dedicated activation support.

What Is Visual Studio Professional Used For?

Visual Studio Professional is designed for individual developers and small teams who need a powerful, extensible IDE for building applications across platforms. It supports:

• Code editing and debugging with IntelliSense, breakpoints, and live code analysis.
• Version control integration (Git, Azure DevOps).
• Testing tools including unit testing and load testing.
• Deployment to Azure, Windows, and other targets.
• Extensions from the Visual Studio Marketplace.

Unlike the free Community edition, Professional adds enterprise-grade features like CodeLens, architecture validation, and advanced debugging for production environments.

Visual Studio Professional vs Community – Which One Do You Need?

A common question is "Visual Studio Professional vs Community – what's the difference?" Here's a clear breakdown:

| Feature | Professional | Community | |---------|--------------|-----------| | License type | Per-user, commercial | Free for individual developers, open-source, and classroom use | | CodeLens | Yes | No | | Architecture tools | Yes | Limited | | Advanced debugging | Yes | Basic | | Enterprise-grade testing | Yes | Limited | | Commercial use | Unlimited | Restricted (revenue limits apply) |

If you are a professional developer or part of a commercial team, Visual Studio Professional is the right choice. The Community edition is ideal for learning, open-source contributions, or non-enterprise scenarios.
