Edwin,

Your teacher is actually telling you the wrong information. Oracle P6 is not "free". You may download and trial it but then need to purchase the license, and pay for maintenance if you want the support. Its actually part of the terms that you agree to when you download the software.

Most version of P6 require connecting the P6 client (also called P6 Professional) to a database. The newer versions of P6 make this easy by having a single SQLite file as the database rather than needing SQl or Oracle Databases. So go for a connection to an SQLLite file/db.

There's a few videos on Youtube you can search, its a bit disappointing that not many of them actually say that you need a license to use P6.
