After downloading the installation file from Oracle, unzip it.
Click on Setup
Select “Typical” and click OK
Click Install
After installation complete, click OK.
In Driver type drop-down list, select “P6 Pro Stand-alone (SQLite)”, then click Next
Select “Add a new standalone database and connection”. Click Next
Enter new password. For example “admin”. Click Next
You can change destination of database file, otherwise it will be stored in My Document folder.
Check on “Load Sample Data” if you want some sample project appear in your database. Uncheck it if you want your database is blank. To create database for working, we usually uncheck it.
Click Next
Click Finish
You have finished the installation.
Now we open the application.
In Start menu click on P6 Professional R16.1
Enter password. For example “admin”. Click OK
Click OK again. We will turn that notification off when we’re inside program.
Go to Admin -> Admin Preferences
Go to Industry tab and select your industry. For example “Engineering and Construction”. Then click on Close.
Congratulation. Now you can plan with Primavera P6.
Happy Planning 🙂
I have a problem when opening visualizer in p6 16.1:
Failed to load type for module CommandLineModule.
Error was: An exception occurred while initializing module ‘CommandLineModule’.
– The exception message was: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
– The Assembly that the module was trying to be loaded from was:Primavera.Venus.CommandLineModule, Version=16.1.0.18077, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null
Check the InnerException property of the exception for more information. If the exception occurred while creating an object in a DI container, you can exception.GetRootException() to help locate the root cause of the problem.

From my experience, Visualizer is not stable to work yet. I also have some error from it. Oracle will need some time to improve it. It’s a new module.
And for this kind of technical error, you have to contact Oracle support to fix it.
I have no idea about this 🙂

Where do we apply the license? Do we need to input it somewhere or we just need to purchase?

Hi Doduy —
Thanks Very Much for you article on PMDB Installation using SQLite.
Question is — What does Installation of MS SQL 2012 Express Database offer
that you cannot get with SQLite Database? What are the limitations of SQLite Database? Would appreciate your letting me know.
Thanks Very Much & Best —

Hi,
From my experience, SQLite can not handle big project (over 50000 activities). It’s sometimes crash. It’s only suitable for learning or trial use.
SQL Database is more stable. Recommend for working environment.
