Primavera P6 Product Codes

Primavera P6 requires you to enter a product code during installation. The product code is comprised oftwo 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 ofPrimaveras project and baseline comparison tool (Claim Digger or Schedule Comparison), whichyou 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. Theletter may be E, C, O, or T, and determines the color scheme, application defaults, applicationterminology, and the Hint Help (field-level help) version. The two numbers may be any twonumbers 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 possibleproduct codes. The entire product code determines the version of the Online Help that is installed alongwith the products.
