P5 Installation

Hi,
Nice n kid hearted person you are!! i took hell a lot time to insatll stand alone mode finally i got it from some french engr’s blog site. i did it !!

please share your knowledge to others

Hi Ulysses,

I went to P5 training but they did not cover the conversion of data process. They just covered basic function like adding activities, setting up activity codes, etc. I imported my P3 project but it wants me to set up an EPS. What advice can you give me for setting this up and the advantages. Anything I need to look for/set up now that will benefit me in the future? Any other new features I need to be aware of? Thanks so much.

Hi Beth
On the documentation CD you can find "P3toPrimavera_v50.pdf". It is reliable and contains many good advices.
To the EPS: There is no ideal EPS. It depends on your need and the structure of your business. But there are two items:
- Heritage of access-rights: If you have rights for a node, you have those rights for all items below that node as well.

- Budget: Your top-down budget planning is best along the EPS.
Good luck!
Dieter

Hi DJ,

Did you manage to install P5? I need also a help on how to install the same P5.

Here is my email: aldisomimba@gmail.com

Hi
you better describe what you did and the error message you received.
Some basics for the stand-alone P5:
- You need local administrator rights, because P5 will write into the registry
- Read the tested configurations first. (I’m at home, but as far as I remember it is on the documentation-cd under technical...)
- As for other installations: close all other applications.
- Keep in mind where you have your license file, you’ll be asked for it.
- Name of the SQL-Server in general is the name of your pc.
- When during the installation you are asked for a database password, leave it as it is.
- First access to P5: User admin, Pwd: admin then create some new users following the admin guide on your documentation cd.

Server installation to be performed by your it-staff - give them the admin-guide.

Good luck!
Dieter

it’s easy, I’ve just installed a stand-alone P6 yesterday and I haven’t sweat, but first you’ll need a registration key, it will be provided by your supplier; but yet, i’m still not convinced if it’s working properly.

P5 installation is little complex but once u did it, its nothing like rocket science.
First install microsoft SQL server
Run P5 setup from cd
Select stand alone installation option

pls help me also in installation, i have a cd but already expired, its a student version from july5 to july19, how can i use it for unlimited time? im sure there is a crack on it. my email is engr_fdu@yahoo.com

Hi there,
I have tried to install P6 stand-alone on my customers’s PCs today; it’s a long process indeed, but with 2Gb RAM it works;
Problem is that when I launch Project Management, I am requested to enter a "Registration code" that my PAR would calculate from the software Serial Number and some "Installation code"; there is nothing about that in the PDF Files.
Please somebody explain, I am lost in the middle of the Indian Ocean, and no help available here
Thanks

hi everybody, i need to install P5 version to my PC for training. i dont have many times to learn a bit the software.. for three days, i didnt find a way to start the program.. i have installed it, program automatically made a database config. although i have conmpleted all the same procedure with the installation manuals on internet, i receive database config failed message..
do i need to install mysql server even i will use the program in stand alone version?
how will i pass the database problems and start the program..many thanks for any help..please tell me mustafaucan83@hotmail.com

best.

msu,
a stand-alone PM5 works with MSDE (a lighter version of MS SQL Server 2000); you should not have any problem installing this software, as it is a part of the PM5 set-up process
can you check in Windows Start, Parameters, Install software panel if something is making troubles?
Alexandre

Thanks Alexandre,
after your explanation, now,it is clear for me that i dont need any mysql server installation.. but i could not understand how to check windows start,parameters?

msu,
Start, Parameters (or Setup?), Configuration panel, Add/remove programs
then check any occurence of Microsoft SQL Server
