In spite of the confusion, you basically have three choices for a PPM tool from Microsoft:
1. Project for the Web

Hi Dale, Yes indeed that would be me. And yes the time zones can be very challenging. I have a son in NY so I do understand that. Thanks for the referral to Sensei, I'll reach out to them. Cheers ... Bruce
Hi Dale, can you please clarify what you mean by "Microsoft Project desktop with Project Online".

How does that align with your product description? Thanks ... Bruce

My bad. I wrote my reply without reading all of your previous replies in this thread. My apologies to you, my friend! Yes, you DID answer my other questions. - Hi Dale, thanks that's very helpful. With regard to "You never answered my other questions", I thought I had answered them all in the chain above. Let me know if I haven't.

The Plan 1 subscription provides access to Project for the Web, and provides team member access to Project Online. Project Plan 3 provides project manager access to Project Online, and provides a license for Project Online Professional (aka the Microsoft Project desktop application). Project Plan 5 provides Administrator access to Project Online and provides a license for Project Online Professional. Hope this helps.
