may I check can I transfer my Microsoft project license to another account? Because My license is permanent/lifetime, but I will be cancelling my email account. Therefore, I would like to transfer my Microsoft project license to my colleague's email account.

    Dear Ting Ting,

    Whether the license can be transferred depends on the license type. If your license is a Microsoft 365 subscription (Project Plan 1, Plan 3, or Plan 5), an admin can simply remove the license from one user and assign it to another user.

    For more detailed information Assign or unassign licenses for users in the Microsoft 365 admin center

    If your license is a perpetual retail license (for example, Project 2021 or Project 2024 purchased outright), it is normally associated with the Microsoft account used during activation. In most regions, Microsoft does not provide a self-service method to move that entitlement to a different Microsoft account.

    In some cases and jurisdictions, Microsoft Support may be able to assist with a license transfer after ownership verification.

    You can submit support ticket via Microsoft 365 admin center> support > help & support.

    Or you can contact Microsoft Support team via phone service number: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support

    I hope information above meet your expectations, feel free to reach out if you have any other questions.
