Microsoft Project
 

Hi Guys,

Wondering if any of you fellow soldiers in the building/construction industry can suggest a good (economical) place to get hold of Project? I need to this operate on two machines (two licences) and is for a business so pretty much have to go legit copies I think. Either 2007 or 2010 would be fine.

Cheers,


Chris

We purchased ours Via Dell.

You can purchase it from Harris Tech for $971 per licence.

JH Computers, 55 Canning Hwy, Vic Park 9367 9499 Ask for Karl. Tell him Daniel at murray sent you.

He will give you decent pricing.

Only really one licence you can get given its for work.

Wholesale price (looking at supplier right now) for Project 2010 Pro (Retail Version) is just below $1300. None in stock anywhere in Australia.

Possible other suppliers have it and are cheaper though, but there is a ballpark figure. My guess is try to see if they sell a business licence PKC for cheaper. (Perhaps this is what HT have).

Found this on good old ebay.
Its from the US but I don't see how that would matter I have purchase a fair amount of music software from there.

Its only the standard version though.

Cheers guys. I'll have a poke around this weekend and see what I can get my hands on. I'm not convinced it's as useful a tool as some people think but if the guys working for me can use it to help make all our lives easier I am more than happy to try it.

Get someone to buy you the student version. Absolutely identical. Can load it on 3 computers and cost me $270 from memory.

The latest version is heaps better than 07.

Fixed a few of the really stupid things from 03 and 07.

You cannot use Academic Edition in a corporate or workplace environment.

Why not? Is something actually going to stop you?

Look at the licensing agreement for the software and you'll find he's correct.

When you look at it there's not a huge chance you'll get caught but the fines associated with using either illegitimate or incorrectly licensed software in a corporate environment are not worth the effort for the money saved.
