Microsoft Project Standard vs. Microsoft Project Professional

Hey gang,
I always thought that the difference between Standard and Professional could be summed up this way:
One of them (Professional) permits you to connect to Microsoft® Project Server (particularly now in version 2013).
However, in reading this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc750929.aspx
It states:
" ... Microsoft Project Standard can be used stand-alone, or in combination with Microsoft Project Server for more advanced team collaboration..."
Is this true/ correct? Can Project Standalone 2013 connect to Project Server???
\Spiro Theopoulos PMP, MCITP. Montreal, QC (Canada)

Hi Spiro, This article applied to 2002 version. I do not have enough experience with Project 2002 to confirm it, but at least since Project 2003, you do need MS Project Pro in order to create an account and connect to Project Server.
Hope this helps,

Maintaining Project Standards Across Multiple Projects

Hello,
Is there a way to maintain solman project standards in a template to apply to new projects or do they have to be manually configured for every new project?
Any guidance is appreciated.
Thanks,
Stephanie

IFAIK, what you are trying will not work following the servlet specification. I mean, each web application has its own "session manager", that's why sessions cannot be shared among several applications.
Maybe using propietary solutions.... Or... I have never tried, but using a "common" repository (a DB).
You would have to create a cookie attached to the whole server (path=/). Using this cookie, access to DB where common data would be stored.

Differece between MS Project Professional and MS Project Standard

Hi, I found out an article named "Microsoft Project Standard vs. Microsoft Project Professional", I would like to make sure if this article fit for 2010 version. Thanks.

Hi tianyupeggy,
The link you provided is for Project 2002 and not 2007. Anyway the list is still relevant for Project 2007 eventhough it has some improvment.
The main difference to note is that the standard version is just a simple desktop application for standalone work whereas the professional version gives the ability to connect to Project Server which proposes a large set of enterprise features listed in
your article.
Hope this helps,

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard Serial No. and would like to upgrade to the Microsoft Windows 8 and the Office Professional Edition 2013.

I have Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard [serial number removed by moderator] and would like to upgrade to the Microsoft Windows 8 and the Office Professional Edition 2013.

Hi w james,
As you mentioned that you are upgrading your Operating System to Windows 8 and MS Office to MS Office Professional 2013, please note that Adobe Acrobat 9 is not compatible with Windows 8 and MS Office 2013. You need to upgrade to Adobe Acrobat XI as it is fully compatible with Windows 8 and MS Office 2013.

Project Standard 2013 'The File Cannot be Opened'

I am using Project Standard 2013 and have been doing so since 2013. Last week it suddenly started coming up with the following error message when I try to save a project and update the associated shared resource pool:
The file cannot be opened.
Check that the file name and path are correct
Check that the file format is recognized by Project
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project 2000 can't be opened.'
I have only ever used this version, no earlier versions. I have tried to repair the application through the update/re-install process.
The projects save but do not appear in the resource pool unless both files are open. Some projects are still linked to the resource pool and show in it even if they are not open. This is now happening with all files when I try to save them. Sometimes it
says:
'The resource pool is read only, do you want to save a copy'
Even if I click 'no' a copy appears which I can't close and I have to force quit the application.
Help.

I've also tried opening the resource pool read-write. That worked for about 5 minutes when saving projects. Now it won't let me save my project without saving the resource pool first. When I try to save the resource pool, I get the same error message:
The file cannot be opened.
Check that the file name and path are correct
Check that the file format is recognized by Project
Project files saved in a version earlier than Microsoft Project
2000 can't be opened.'

Characters in Standard Template in Project not replaced in new project

Hi. I have created a coding mask : XOG..XXX.XXX.XX/XX-XX.000. With this coding mask I have created a standard wbs template , XOG.XXX.XXX.00/01. Now when I create a new project copying this template with project definition XOG.GRE.ADD.11/06, only the project definition has its characters replaced with the name of the project. The WBS' created still carry the characters in the standard template ie XOG.GRE.XXX.00/01. Is it possible to have the characters of the WBS replaced when creating a new project along side the project definition?

Hi,
Your Standard Project Definition is XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01 and bellow which you have created WBS element.
i.e.   XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01
        XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01-AB
        XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01-AB.1
Now while copying from std template you have given your new proj definition XOG.GRE.ADD.16/06 and bellow WBS element are getting created so there is no need to change any character before 16/06 because your project definition and 1 level WBS element should be the same.
Still if you want to change ADD with different characters i.e ABC follow the following procedure while creating the project.
1.     In CJ20N click on Copy project and enter your required project definition XOG.GRE.ADD.16/06
2.     Select required project profile
3.     Enter standard project definition XOG.GRE.ADD.00/01
4.     Click on WBS Element overview (F8) instead of OK
5.     Accept the warning messages
6.     Then Click on Replace and give your required characters to replace with i.e ADD to ABC
But this will have your project definition as XOG.GRE.ADD.16/06 and your WBS elements starting with XOG.GRE.ABC.16/06
i.e.   XOG.GRE.ABC.16/06
        XOG.GRE.ABC.16/06--AB
        XOG.GRE.ABC.16/06-AB.1
So there will be mismatch in project definition and WBS element codes. If your business is accepting it then you can create the same, but logically it is not correct.

Hi,
Try to search for an IMG file instead of a EXE file.
With Windows 8, you can double-click the IMG file and extract the contents into a folder, then install the software from the EXE file. Otherwise, you will need to some software like 7Zip that can unzip the IMG file for you.
Hope this helps,

How do I transfer my Project Standard 2007 license to a different desktop computer.

How do I transfer my Project Standard 2007 license to a different desktop computer.

I'm assuming you have the source installation and key? You should just uninstall off the first computer and re-install to the second.
You'll need to make sure you update the installation with the service packs - up through SP-3.

Connecting "ms project pro 2007" to "project server 2013"?

Hello, Is there a way to connect "ms project pro 2007" to "project server 2013"? Do we have a "backward compatibility mode" in this context? Thankx

If I understood correctly, you are asking for whether the MS Project Professional 2007 is supported in Project Server 2013. The answer is
no.
Project Server 2013 supports only Project Professional 2013 version.

Can't open Project 2010 file in Project 2007

I am trying to open a Project 2010 file in Project 2007, I get an error that asks if I would like to download the converter and I say yes and get a generic product page for Project 2010. I can't locate the file that I need, how do I find it?

Addressed here:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/project-help/opening-project-mpp-files-from-different-versions-HA001045020.aspx
You have reached this page because the Project MPP file that you are trying to open was created in a later version of Microsoft Project. Check below to determine if a converter for opening later files is available to you.
Which Project version are you using?
Which file version are you trying to open?
Notes
Project 2007
Project 2010
No converter is available. If you received a Project 2010 file that you want to open using Project 2007, ask the person who sent the file to first save it to the Project 2007 file format.
Alternately, you can install the free
trial version of Project 2010, and then view the file, or save it to the Project 2007 file.
Note Once the trial version of Project 2010 has expired, it can continue to open and view project files, but it won’t be able to save them.
Project 2003
Project 2007
There are two possibilities here.
If you are using Project 2003 with SP3, project files from Project 2007 can be opened read-only.
Download Microsoft Office Project 2003 Service Pack 3.
If you are using Project 2003 without SP3, there is no converter available. Upgrade to Project 2003 with SP3, or ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 2003
Project 2010
No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2010 file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 2000 or Project 2002
Project 2007 or Project 2010
No converter is available. Ask the person who sent the Project 2007 or later file to save the file first in the Project 2000-2003 file format.
Project 98
Project 2000 and later versions
No converter is available. Consider upgrading to the latest version of Project, or install the free
trial version of Project 2010 to try out Project’s enhanced functionality.
Alternately, ask the person who sent the Project 2000-2003 file to save the file first in the Project 98 file format.
Note Project 2007 and later versions of Project do not have the ability to save to the Project 98 file format.”

Project Server 2010 - A project blocks My tasks

Hello!
I am currently unable to open My Tasks page. Here's the short history. We're preparing a presentation with screenshots of various pages on PS2010, and for some reason, a colleague has decided to assign about 250 tasks - almost a whole project to a single
resource. The resource is, of course, me. The moment she does that, My Tasks page stops responding, that is, it starts "O Loading" and never finishes, printing out only "Unknown error has occurred". Everything else works fine, the
mentioned project is editable in Project Center etc.
Having encountered something similar earlier on a different software, I assumed that some kind of timeout is the cause, i.e. the sql server or the project server cannot process the data in a reasonable time. I checked CPU and memory usage on the PS, and
it was mostly idle. Then I logged to the sql server, and it was stuck on 100%. For a moment, I thought that I had a solution ready, so I added two more virtual processors to the sql server (since everything is on HyperV). Well, it didn't work out. I googled
for a maximum number of tasks PS2010 should be able to support, and I confirmed that 200 tasks represents no problem at all. So now, the sql server is not overloaded, the project server waits for data, and nothing happens.
The error log reports Error ID 7747, and here's the info:
SSP Name: Project Server Service Application
PSError: NoError (0)
Project Server has encountered an underlying SQL Server exception. Please refer to SQL Server documentation for more details.
SQL Exception details:SqlException occurred in DAL:
<Error><Class>0</Class><LineNumber>0</LineNumber><Number>10054</Number><Procedure></Procedure>
<Message>

   at Microsoft.Office.Project.Server.DataAccessLayer.DAL.SubDal.ExecuteStoredProcedureDataReader(String storedProcedureName, CommandBehavior commandBehavior, SqlParameter[] parameters)
</CallStack>
Any ideas how to solve this (without deleting the project, which, of course, works)?

Sounds like a timeout of some sort Raptus. Can't you just get unassigned from the tasks in that plan and then re-publish? as these were just for a demonstration I guess you can lose them.
Best regards,
Brian.
