How to download desktop client from Project 3 plan
Hi,
I am new to Project and about to purchase on premise Project professional 2021, but to ascertain the usability of Project, today purchased Project 3 plan (monthly) in the hope that I get Desktop client to test for a month. As you know, Project professional does not allow trial download, so I have to route to Project 3 plan.
Now, issue is, I am unable to download the desktop client from this Project 3 subscription. In the Apps, I see option of installing Project (image below), if downloaded, I get set up file names 'OfficeSetup.exe', and if I install it, office 365 is installed, but I cant find Project.
I tried to follow https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/how-can-i-download-ms-project-in-my-computer/2fd8f0bb-4c2c-47f2-9c74-647fbf53b3b7
but so far no success.
can you please guide me? Thanks in anticipation.
- Thanks, I contacted MS, they tried to support, but eventually we found out that organization internet was causing some trouble and 365 was seen installed, but may be not complete. Once we tried mobile internet, it installed in just couple of minutes and we could see Project installed.

Thanks for the support! I contacted Microsoft, and after discovering our organization's internet issues, we switched to mobile data. The installation of 365 bhi completed in minutes, and we could access the Project software.
