Project Pro 2013 with Project online

I want to confirm that Project Pro 2013 can connect to Project online in the same way that Project Pro for O365 does. In other words, is it largely a licensing difference in the way the two products are licensed?

Hi,
See my reply about a similar concern:

Project Pro for Office 365 vs. Project Pro 2013

Hello,
As I already have Project Pro 2013 installed on my PC (which is able to connect to Project Online) I'm not sure if the MS Project I'm using is Project Pro for Office 365 vs. Project Pro 2013.
Is there any difference in the interface of the 2 products, as there is a noticeable difference between Word 2013 and Word Web App?
Thanks

Hello,
Project Pro 2013 is the same product as Project Pro for Office 365.
Word 2013 and Word Web App are totally different, Word Web App is web based, Word 2013 is the client tool.

MS Project Pro 2013 won't activate on Win 8.1 Pro

Hi there. I'm trying to install Project Pro 2013 and Visio Pro 2013 (both MAPS apps) to a Windows 8.1 Pro machine. It has a copy of Office 365 installed just in case that makes a difference. It's also using a domain login.
Anyway, If I try to activate, the key seems to be accepted but it doesn't 'stick' and once the app closes down I need to reactivate again.
Using the product key, I've tried activating at...
The First dialog when opening the app
At the "PRODUCT NOTICE. Project hasn't been activated..." bar
Programs and Features > MS Project Pro 2013 > Change > "Enter a product Key"
None of which work.
I've also tried
Uninstalling and reinstalling
Using our MAPS account login (something I'm trying to avoid)
Attempting the above activation in Administrator mode where possible
Is there anything else I can try?

Hello Daleos
That is very weird indeed. I don't have a good answer. Make sure that Office and Project are using the same bit version. Don't mix. For example if office is running 64-bit then make sure that Project is 64-bit.

Date and Time Submitted in Task Notes to show in Project Pro 2013

I wonder if anybody could assist.
I am running PWA 2013 and Project Pro 2013
When a resource updates a task on PWA and creates/updates the notes on the task, it pulls to the notes section for the task in Project Professional. This is great but…
Is there a way to pull the Date and Time Submitted next to the resources’ name in the note too?
I would appreciate any assistance.
Many Thanks :)

Hi,
I don't think this is feasible out-of-the-box. Note that the information is available in the task details when you click on the task (either in the task update page or in the approval center).
A workaround would be to train the users to start their comments by typing their initials and the date-time.
Another way more complex would be to do some custom code.
Hope this helps,

Project Pro 2013 60 Day Trial....didn't last 60 days

I download and installed the Project Pro 2013 60 day trial and it disabled most of the features after about 7 days. Does anyone know if this can be fixed so that I can use the entire 60 days?
Many thanks in advance if you know the answer.

Soloanom, I anticipate you might be bounced around with a problem like this, but I think that what you're experiencing is due to the design or a problem with the project product itself, and so you'll need to ask the office experts over in the office-related
forums for assistance.
Unfortunately your post is off topic here, in the TechNet Site Feedback forum, because it is not Feedback about the TechNet Website or Subscription. This is a standard response I’ve written up in advance to help many people (thousands, really.)

Soloanom, the two links in this paragraph are your best bet: For technical issues with Microsoft products that you would run into as an
end user of those products, one great source of info and help is

Office, IE, and other products. Office related forums are also here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/support/contact-us-FX103894077.aspx.
For Technical issues with Microsoft products that you might have as an
IT professional (like technical installation issues, or other IT issues), you should head to the TechNet Discussion forums at
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/forums/en-us, and search for your product name.
For issues with products you might have as a Developer (like how to talk to APIs, what version of software do what, or other developer issues), you should head to the MSDN discussion forums at
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/forums/en-us, and search for your product or issue.
If you’re asking a question particularly about one of the Microsoft Dynamics products, a great place to start is here:

If you really think your issue is related to the subscription or the TechNet Website, and I screwed up, I apologize! Please repost your question to the discussion forum and include much more detail about your problem, that could include screenshots
of the issue (do not include subscription information or product keys in your screenshots!), and/or links to the problem you’re seeing.
If you really had no idea where to post this question but you still posted it here, you still shouldn’t have because we have a forum just for you! It’s called the Where is the forum for…? forum and it’s here:

How to make Project Template in MS Project Pro 2013

Dear All,
is there any method by which Standard Template can be build in MS Project Pro 2013 as Global Calendar etc?
As far as i know, we can do this in PWA once we made EPT but looking something by which if project manager wants to create any project then he can choose such template in MS project Pro 2013 itself?
Is there any way?

Just to add on to Guillarme's reply, this might help, if you want to create projects and templates directly in Project Pro 2013, this might help:

MS Project Pro 2013 - Auto Level (Not responding)

Hi,
One of our users has an issue in MS Project Pro 2013 with Automatically levelling (See below). Can anyone suggest what the possible cause of this is? The user is running Windows 8.1 Pro and more than enough RAM + Graphics card is fine.
I would start with the both the Resource Pool and Sharer projects open (as I’m supposed to). When I select ‘Auto Level’, MS Project would then turn the mouse
into a swirl circle and state (Not Responding) at the top of the page. If I hovered over the MS Project symbol pinned to my task bar, I would notice that it had opened a third window, though I couldn’t see what that project was as it was greyed out.
I tried this a number of times and had the same result.
Thank you

Intellitrain --
Given the fact that no one else has replied to your post, let me just take a stab at it. A couple things come to mind:
Is the project in question a LARGE project with a large number of tasks and resources (maybe numbering in the thousands of tasks and resource assignments)? If this were the case, leveling all overallocations at once would take a long time, which could
be why the software seems to go into Not Responding mode. By the way, I have seen Not Responding messages a lot in Project Server 2010 and 2013 when opening a very large enterprise project. Microsoft Project shows the Not Responding message, even
though it is actually working at opening the project.
If the project is not a large project, but is smallish in size, then the user might try opening both the project and the shared resource pool file in Read/Write mode, disconnecting the project from the shared resource pool file, saving and closing both
files. Then the user should reopen both the project and the shared resource pool file, reconnect them, and save both of them again. Then try leveling. Does the problem still occur.
If this does not help, there is a possibility that the project is corrupted. If this is the case, the user should disconnect the project from the shared resource pool file and save it. Then the user should save the file as an XML file and close
the project. Finally, the user should open the XML file and save it back as an MPP file. This is how to resolve a corrupted MPP file.
Just a few thoughts. Hope this helps.

Cut and Paste with MS Project Pro 2013

We have and issue where if we try to Copy and Paste a task in MS Project Pro 2013, the PASTE option is not highlighted and we cannot do this. We can copy and paste field in the project but not a task. The task include enterprise fields and I tried to Cut
and Paste even in off-line mode and it does not work.
Anybody has an idea?
Thanks

Hi Johan,
This normally happens when a sort is applied to the view. Sorting by ID then solves the problem.

Project Server 2013 - Graphical Indicators - Not showing until the project is published via Project Pro 2013

Greetings -
I have a custom field on a PDP that is used to manually flag a project for review. Once the field is set to "Flag" a red flag should show on the Project Summary page prompting the Portfolio Manager to follow up. The red flag only appears
after publishing the project via Project Pro 2013 not by just editing the PDP via Explorer (Save and Check in).
This occurs on both projects that were created prior to the graphical indicator being added to the PDP and new projects.
Now if instead of using the red flag graphical indicator I just used the text "FLAGGED" that would work fine.
So is this a bug? Or is something setup incorrectly? Or is this how PWA is supposed to handle graphical indicators on the project summary page?
Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Gunnery,
I made the following test: I create 2 project ECF both inserted in the Project details PDP:
for review: flag type field with graphical indicator in case value = yes
for review_2: text type field (with a yes/no look-up table) with graphical indicator in case value = yes
Whitout going to Project Pro, I'm able to modify the 2 fields for any project (created before or after the ECFs creation) and the graphical indicators are instantaneously shown in the summary project center view (just pressing F5).
Note that the graphical indicator is not shown in the PDP, just the text value. Note also that I've not been to Project Pro neither to PWA/schedule PDP to publish the project plan.
Then
Does that correspond to your need? Can you reproduce this example and validate wheither or not it works.

Saving MPP to SharePoint 2013 site from Project Pro 2013 fails

When syncing from MS Project Pro 2013 to SharePoint 2013 it does not save the MPP file in the Site Assets
Have MS Project Pro 2013, SharePoint 2013, IE 9, Windows 7
The scenario is as follows.
1. Have a SharePoint Project site
2. I open up the task list in the SharePoint site and added tasks just using the available default fields that are provided. NO external links
are in the task list.
3. Selected the Open with MS Project option in the task list ribbon. MS Project 2013 launched from my desktop with the task list opened in it.
4. In Project selected the Sync with SharePoint option and it did sync successfully with task list but it did NOT save the project file in the
SharePoint site. In addition, No error or warning message appeared.
5. Selected Save button in MS Project – again it did not save to SharePoint but instead brought up the Save As screen again.

Karen,
To the best of my knowledge synching a Project file with a SharePoint task list and saving the project file to a library on SharePoint are two separate processes.
You may synch the file to the SP list and then save the Project file to a library. Are you using Project Server?

Project Server 2013 - Cannot see project schedule in PWA

Project Server 2013 and Project Pro 2013
I have admin authority but for some of the projects loaded to the server, and published, i cannot see the Schedule option in the left frame. At least on project has this option available but several others do not. For the projects where I can't see the schedules:
- Some of these projects were created with imported MPP files from Project 2010, and imported using the wizard,
- Some were created with imported XML files from Project 2010, and imported using the wizard
- Some were created with Project Pro 2013 and saved, published to the P13 server.
Are there some obvious things that I should check as a new admin to this version of Project Server? I'm stumped.
For all of the above projects (with the issue or not) I can succesfully see everything in Project Professional 2013, and everything seems to function normally in the publish process.

Hi,
the first thing to check would be the EPT (Enterprise Project Type) of those projects. Go to server settings, Enterprise Project Types, select the appropriate project type and ensure that the Schedule page is on the left side of the section "New Project
Page/Project Detail Pages".
Hope this helps,

Using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

using sharepoint designer 2013 - connected to sharepoint online - but getting " data source file cannot be saved" after making a new linked datasource

Hi,
Based on your description, I have done a test and I can’t reproduce your issue.
I have used SharePoint Designer 2013 to open a SharePoint Online site and there are no issues.
I’d like to clarify whether you encounter any issues when accessing SharePoint Online sites. If there are no issues during the accessing procedure, SharePoint Online service should be working fine at your side. The issue may be caused by specific SharePoint
Designer client or network. I suggest you refer to the following steps to troubleshoot the issue.
1. Use SharePoint Designer to open another site and check whether it is successful.
2. When you are prompted to enter Office 365 account and password, try other users’ accounts and select the remembering the credential.
3. Perform the connection procedure under another environment and verify whether the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, can you provide related screenshots for further troubleshooting?
Best Regards,

Project Pro 2010-hide closed projects?

We would like to hide closed projects from the project pro listing of all projects in server, but still have data show in our SSRS reports that we have created.
I've been able to hide closed projects in PWA project center view but not having luck with Project Professional Server version 2010
Ideas??
Debbie (Clary) Dixon

Hi Debbie,
Here is a proposal to archive closed projects without deleting them, so you can include them in the reporting.
You can create a dedicated group and category.
First, create the security and the group:
create a security group for non-admin users
create an archive security category, associated with the new non-admin group. Refuse all the cross autorizations between the group and the category. In the "projects" section, check the box "only designated projects" (or however it is named in your langage),
and do not check any box after.
Now the archive process must be as followed:
unpublished all project tasks, inserting the "publish" column
in PWA, close to update all project tasks to prevent users to update task progress on archived projects
add the project to the archive category
The project is archived (unpublished and closed to any updates) but still in the databases, accessible in the reporting. At any time and for any reasons, administrators can "restore" the project by removing it from the archive category.
Then you can put in place on a regular basis the usual process of physically deleting the archived projects once you're sure that they won't need to be accessed anymore and data are not needed anymore in the reporting. They still will be accessible by the Archived
native DB.
Hope this helps.

Project Pro 2013 client Deployment with Lync 2010 and Team Explorer Excel Issues Following

Current machines are Office 2010 SP1 or SP2 32-bit
Just deployed Project 2013 Pro and Std to the existing machines that had Project 2010 Pro or Std. We selected the full install since people use integration into different tools.
Results:
lync 2010 64-bit when attending a meeting prompted user to start using and download the Lync Web Component, which breaks features such as muting, etc.
A repair sent to the workstations for Lync 2010 64-bit fixed that.
Team Explorer 2012 Export to excel from queries gives error Unable to cast COM object of type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.ApplicationClass' to interface type 'Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel._Application'. This operation failed because
the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{000208D5-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}' failed due to the following error: The interface is unknown. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800706B5).
Repair of Team Explorer, Office, Test Manager 2012, etc did not assist. if we go into excel and connect to TFS, we can then retrieve the query data. Just not from TFS exporting to excel. Had to unload Project 2013, repair Office 2010
and rebooted with project off the machine and now it works. It seems maybe the setup with the shared features and Office tools are breaking something? We need the ability for VBA and .net functionality, but what could be breaking this?

Hi,
Your environment will support 32 bit of Project professional 2013 (x86) as you have Windows and Office of (X86).
You try to modify registry then you wont face issue.
The issue when you hit a "1653" is that Windows
Installer "DisableRollback" is set. Office 2013 requires that "rollback" be enabled. If you are getting a "1653"
error in your logs as Ken did then the solution is to delete the "DisableRollback" (or set to '0') at the following registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer
these are the issues I've seen:
Scheduler service was stopped. At a cmd window typing "net start schedule" resolves the problem.
CMD.exe was customized via the following registry key. Solution was to temporarily disable the customization by changing autorun value to autorun_old.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Command Processor
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Command Processor
Permission issues - seems some custom permissions affected Ingram's install which he explained in his previous post.
Environment variable "ComSpec" had been modified (semicolon added). Fix was to remove the added semicolon (there should be no semicolon).
The way to identify you are hitting this specific issue is if in the %temp%\OfficeSetup.log there is a mention of "Office64MUI.msi" failing to install with return value of 1603
If you want to enable verbose logging via the following key, rerun your failed install, and collect all the setup and MSI* logs that will give more information.
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer]
"logging"= "voicewarmup"
