Installation Requirements and Instructions

For complete installation requirements and instructions for Primavera P6 client applications, including Project Management, Methodology Management, Timesheets/Group Server, ProjectLink, (Distributed) Job Service, and Software Development Kit, as well as associated databases and servers, refer to the Primavera P6 Administrators Guide. This guide is available in the P6 Documentation file in the media pack. After unzipping this file, go to the Documentation\<language> folder, then launch the Primavera Documentation Center.pdf file, from which you can access all P6 documentation. Note: In the installation instructions contained in the Primavera Administrators Guide, some steps in installation procedures are no longer necessary or are inaccurate. Specifically: In installation procedures, ignore steps instructing you to accept license agreements; these steps are no longer required. In installation procedures, you are instructed to obtain a valid product code from the P6 physical media or via e-mail from Primavera, then enter this code during installation. Rather than obtaining a code using one of these means, the valid Primavera P6 product codes are documented in the next section, Primavera P6 Product Codes. Enter one of these codes during installation of Primavera P6 products. In most cases, you should enter the same code when installing all Primavera P6 products.

Quick Install Guide

Primavera P6 Product Codes

Primavera P6 requires you to enter a product code during installation. The product code is comprised of two parts: The first part of the product code is a two letter string that corresponds to your industry. This code determines the type of sample data downloaded during installation, as well as the name of Primaveras project and baseline comparison tool (Claim Digger or Schedule Comparison), which you can access from the Project Management client application. This two-letter code can be EC, MT, IT, or PD. The second part of the product code is comprised of one letter followed by two numbers. The letter may be E, C, O, or T, and determines the color scheme, application defaults, application terminology, and the Hint Help (field-level help) version. The two numbers may be any two numbers between 0 and 9; the two numbers do not have to be unique.

Note: For most Primavera P6 components, the Online Help is customized to correspond to all possible product codes. The entire product code determines the version of the Online Help that is installed along with the products.
