Tips on using this forum..

(1) Explain your problem, don't simply post "This isn't working". What were you doing when you faced the problem? What have you tried to resolve - did you look for a solution using "Search" ? Has it happened just once or several times?

(2) It's also good to get feedback when a solution is found, return to the original post to explain how it was resolved so that more people can also use the results.

Hi guys,

At times there is a message in P3 saying " Activity Limit Exceeded ". Can anyone tell me what is this.

What is the maximum number of activities we can have in P3.1.

Kris

Hi guys,

I am neither using a demo version nor a student version. However I did fix the problem once by reinstalling 3.1. But why does it happen at all.

The max number of activities I have used is 2200.

Hi Kris!

The eval/demo copy is limited to 65 activities. About 130 activities if you name your project APEX.

The full copy can handle up to 100,000 activities (total for master/subprojects).

Best,

Jorge

You clearly are using either a demo version of P3 (with a limit of 50 activities) or a student version (with a higher limit of around 100 activities.) A full-priced copy of P3 will never say that the number of activities is limited. Good luck!

Hi,

I experienced this message when i used demo version way back ten years ago using Primavera ver 2.0.

I did not encounter this message using Primavera ver 3.1. Presently, the number of activities is more than 25K and growing without encountering this message.

Cheers,

Charlie

Hi kris,

this problem can happen if you are working with programs exceeding 10k activities,

this can be fixed by uninstalling the program from your pc ,

you have to take out "P3 win" folder as well,go to c drive for finding this folder...

then reinstall the program , go for restart at the end,

your bug will get fixed by this,

thanks,
