Got to try out the program today, and I'm impressed. Been using MS Project for about 20 years and this program does what I need in a simpler manner. I especially like the added hand-holding when starting a new project, it would be great help for new or "casual" Project Managers where I work. I like that I can send out reports to each person (resource) to show them what tasks they need to work on. It imported a fairly complex project plan from MS Project - lots of dependencies, special start-to-start / finish-to-finish task relationships with lag times, nested tasks, orphaned tasks.

Don't know if it can export back to MS Project (that would make it an ideal way for different departments to own their own schedules with this program, and send them to me for "big picture" reporting from MS Project. More to try out.

Thanks GOTD and Stand By Soft!

Missed this one by half an hour! Do you, GOTD, have any idea when this might come around again? Does anyone else remember when this was last offered?
Thanks.

How can I increase the size of the initially-microscopic icons and text as they appear on my 15-inch 4K laptop display? I am running the display settings at the recommended 250% scaling factor to make the appearance of most things work OK (acceptably large, as on a non-4K display panel).

For instance, starting from the outline on the left, Project Guide > Notes & Links, the icons for "Project Notes" appear incredibly small (size, color, bold, italic... ordered list, unordered list... hyperlink, image... etc.).

The initial "splash screen" (credits) is extremely tiny; and the following window titled "RationalPlan Single Welc..." (which is all the title I can see) "Please select your action:" is not re-sizable. Hopefully the "New" Open" "Open Last" I am seeing are all the available choices, but I can't be sure. I would like to re-size it a bit bigger to keep it from looking so suspiciously crowded (as though something else might be hidden from view).

An attempt to type notes into the Project Notes box initially resulted in microscopic-sized text. Choosing the XX-Large font size made it barely acceptable, what I would normally consider small (say, 8-point type size).

I changed the Settings > Options > General > Font Size from the default of 27 up to the max of 40, restarted, and all the main window menu items became much easier to read, but the Project Notes text remained unaffected, initially starting out (once again) microscopic.

As it is, this appears to be a very useful application, but nearly unusable in its current form (on my hi-res laptop display).

Hopefully an update to address these issues will be considered "minor" so we can benefit from it without losing your generous free license. It seems reasonably priced for business software, but I would hesitate to purchase additional copies or recommend it in its current state.

Thanks, Stand By Soft and GOTD!

I went to their homepage to look at some screenshots or examples. None of the images show up! Fix your homepage and then I might consider giving your software a trial run.

Installed quickly and flawlessly. Love the interface and all capabilities. Thanks!

OK, looks like one needs to copy the license file extracted from the download called "license.out2" someplace where you can find it using the browse button when starting the program.
Once you find that, the browse box says it is a valid serial number, then you can continue and I believe it is activated with a valid license for give away of the day
nothing is easy anymore......

Two different computers, two separate email links and two setups which don't have a license.
Why bother?

easily set up and activated. Looks useful if only because I can make Gantt charts to appease my bosses. Fairly intuitive. A keeper

I could not open this file: " license.out2 " My computer did recognize it. I tried notepad. I deleted this program.

Thanks for the software. I would like to point out that the program does not respect the user's desktop area, and instead has areas of the program interface below the taskbar area (for users that have more than one row for a taskbar at the bottom). Since the taskbar can be at bottom, top, or a side, the developer should check to ensure the entire program interface is not partially obscured by a taskbar.

getting

"sorry cant run the application on this machine Error code 44506-2

OK


I run W7 professional.

Canyou help please.

jimn

well, following the tutorial for the license key only offers "microsoft excel 2010" and "microsoft word 2010" NEITHER of which holds a valid license key??

Any thing I'm missing?

Tiberiu...I'm having problems with getting the licence. I tried everything it said, but I must be doing something wrong. I can't even get to the continue button it ...I really really want this, so any help will be greatly appreciated. I have windows 10 64 b :)

Looks interesting. Basic questions:
Can the contractors and subcontractors access my RationalPlan and add and change info? (Do I have to sign up for cloud access of some kind?)
Does this install on XP?
Does this UNinstall cleanly?

Downloaded and installed easily on Windows 10 64 bit.

Appears to be a very useful programme. I don't need all the bells, whistle and complications (and expense) of Project so this looks like it will fill my needs nicely. I have been using Trello, which is good for multi-user inputs but overkill for personal/solo use.

I like the basic interface, I can understand it and work with it. I'm already putting a couple of simple projects that I am working on into it and am liking it more as I use it.

A keeper, thank you GAOTD and Stand By Soft.

Looks very good and loaded with nice features. Seems to give Microsoft Project a real fight.

Downloaded the zip file. Unzipped it. Ran the exe file. All I got back was the box stating "Successfully Activated" with only a "Close" option at the bottom right hand corner. Nothing else. This has happened to me on a few of your giveaways recently.
Please tell me if I am doing something wrong. I have been a follower of yours for several years and used to have no problems.
Please advise as to what I must do.

How long is the license?

I wonder if it's feasible to use with GetTheThingsDone routines. If anyone has experience with GTD and can comment on this piece of software, it would help me a lot, and perhaps some other people.
