Templates vs. Library
When to use the library instead of templates.
Templates contain the complete structure of a project. When saving a template, there are options to keep the actual values, user and styles of the original project.
When you create a new project from a template, you get a new file with its own Document ID. Just save and enter a new file name. There you go.
So use a template to get easily and free of conflicts complete new projects.
Another case is when you have recurring parts in one project you would like to use in different files. That could be groups with activities and resources.
You drag the groups to the library.
In a different project simply drag the group(s) of your choice back into the outline.
The library is a recycling-kit for different project snippets.
License
A frequently asked question in support refers to a not licensed Merlin because of too many instances running at the same time.
There is a special case for you as a user of Merlin 2. For a new Mac, e. g. with macOS Sierra, you have decided to upgrade to Merlin Project.
If you nevertheless, like to use Merlin 2 on your old Mac, this is possible. But there can only concurrently be one: Merlin Project 4 or Merlin 2. The programs can only be opened one after the other and not at the same time.
