Those who now have Project Professional 2003 must still set up user login
accounts in the software. To do so, they should complete the following
steps:

1. Open Microsoft Project Professional
2. Click Tools - Enterprise Options - Microsoft Office Project Server
Accounts
3. Click the Add button
4. Enter an Account Name and Project Server URL
5. Select the "Set as default account" option
6. Select the "Use Windows user account" option
7. Select the "Manually control connnection state" option
8. Click the OK button
9. Close and relaunch Microsoft Project Professional and then log in

They will now be able to use Project Server's enterprise features again.
Hope this helps.
