The installation procedure will have added a desktop icon and a Start Menu shortcut to load CS Project. Either method can be used to start CS Project at any given time.

On starting CS Project you will be greeted by a registration screen by which customers can register their licensed copy of CS Project. This is the screen you will see and can enter your license, be it a demo or full copy.


A demo version will give 14 days use of the full product, after which time purchase of a license and registration of the software is required to continue using CS Project.

Make sure all of the fields above have ticks next to the fields. If the 'Activation Key' field does not have a tick to the right, then ensure that there are no invisible space characters at the end or beginning of your key.


When CS Project Starts, you will be presented with an empty grey interface with no project loaded.

To start a new project, select the Application menu in the top left > New Project from the menu bar. In the Create New Project window choose

'Create resources/calendars at a later stage' and click OK. Enter the project name (e.g. “My Project) and start date (e.g. current date) and then select the OK button on the Project Details window.
