The difference between P6 and P7 Primavera is that P6 refers to Primavera P6 Professional Project Management, while P7 refers to the Primavera P7 Enterprise Project Portfolio Management software. P6 is primarily used for individual project management, while P7 is designed for managing multiple projects and portfolios within an enterprise.
My company is using Oracle Primavera P6 PPM and I have an offshore project that I am responsible. The Project Managers don't have full professional P6 license, there I am asking how to share the plans with them (besides using PDF which don't work for such big schedules) ?

You are in luck because there is an application called PrimaveraReader that is capable of opening XER files without having the Primavera P6 software installed on your PC. Visit the application's page at Software Informer to learn more about this reader app and download a trial version to see how it works with your files.
You can also visit the official website as well to see other details about the software and what it supports and how it works.
We are operating mining business in Mozambique. I understand that in Mozambique Primavera Account software is being used. We are finding it very difficult to adopt this account package due to language as well we in India use TALLY Account package. We need a English version of Primavera or if we use Tally software it should account in English/Portuguese.

Primavera application has been acquired by Oracle. I don't think that this version is available anymore. The whole range of products have been acquired and re-developed while keeping the important functions. However, the new products are somewhat used in the same area of business like the previous versions were released for. For more information related to the new Primavera products, access the official website hosted by the Oracle Corporation. I will link you to the available products to see which one is good enough for your business.
Primavera is a complicated and advanced product which requires extensive knowledge before you can fully use it at its maximum capability. Please browse to the *[Resources]1* page where you will find books, ebooks, tutorials and links to start learning.
You can open the files in the same normal way you use to open a file. There is no change from 6.0 to 6.1. The update refers to the "under the hood" operation which means you can open the files normally. The compatibility of the files is not affected because of this update.

The software works with Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle databases. The first thing you have to do is to install one of the supported database engines and configure it as it needs. Secondly, Primavera will have to be configured to use those services as well. The installation and documentation files and steps will be provided then you actually want to install it. Just follow the installation guide and make sure the databases work normally, then the software will be installed properly.
While relating any activity to another activity, if the initial activity (Activity A) is finished and punched as 'Actual' (i.e. 29 APRIL), afterwards when relating above activity to any other activity (Activity B), we need to define Activity B as 'Actual' again instead of Early Start otherwise the software does not except the dates we intent to punch.

For this procedure, I recommend accessing Google to look at the websites that list the Activity feature for Primavera products. You will also have the possibility to watch tutorials on Youtube and various websites. Unfortunately, this is the only way for this operations.
