It sounds like you are having trouble finding Project Professional in the Azure Education Hub. Here are a few steps you can follow to ensure you can access the software:

Check Eligibility: Make sure that your account is part of the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching program, as this program provides access to various software, including Project Professional.
Sign In: Ensure you are signed in with the correct account associated with your educational institution.
Navigate to the Software Section: Once signed in, go to the Software blade in the Education Hub. This is where you should find the available software for download.
Search for Project Professional: If you do not see it immediately, try using the search function within the software section to locate Project Professional.
Contact Support: If you still cannot find it, consider reaching out to your instructor or the support team at your educational institution for further assistance.

If you have followed these steps and still cannot find Project Professional, it may not be included in your specific subscription or there may be an issue with your account setup.

Hi @Mercedes Flores Nuth,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A forum.

Thank you for reaching out, and I’m sorry to hear you're having trouble accessing Project Professional through your Azure Dev Tools for Teaching account - especially when you need it for your Project Management class. I know how important it is to get the software set up quickly so you can stay on track with your coursework.

To clarify, Microsoft Project is not included in the standard Microsoft 365 Education plans (A1/A3/A5). This means it will only appear if your school either:

Has assigned you a separate Project license (such as Project Plan 3/5 EDU), or
Has published Project Professional through Azure Dev Tools for Teaching (ADTF) for students in your department.

Additionally, if you recently activated your Education Hub access, please note that the software catalog may take up to 24 hours to fully populate. If Project doesn’t appear right away, checking back later is recommended.

If you still don’t see Project Professional:

Please reach out to your school’s IT department or your instructor and ask them to verify the following:

Whether your program includes Project Professional through Azure Dev Tools for Teaching
Whether you should have a Project Plan 3/5 (EDU) license assigned to your account
Whether Project has been published to the Education Hub for your department (availability varies by institution, even if other schools provide it)

If your school does provide access to Project but you do not see it, your IT admin may need to either assign the correct license to your account or publish the software to the Education Hub so it becomes visible to you.

I hope this information helps. Please try the steps and let me know whether they resolve the issue. If the problem persists, we can work together to find a solution.
