Project on Mac FAQ
Questions before you start.

No. Launch Project from My apps, or open the full desktop when needed.
Can I use existing MPP files?
Yes. Test your files, templates, accounts and integrations during the trial.
Are Windows and Project included?
No. Valid Microsoft licences are your responsibility.
