Can I use two versions of Marvin at the same time?

Dear All,

I would like to use Spotfire Decision Site to visualize my data and chemical structures in one context.  Decision Site requires MarvinSketch version 4.1.3.  I've just installed version 5.3 as a part of my J-chem license.  Will it be problematic to have two versions of MarvinSketch on my computer at the same time?

Thanks (in advance),

Art

Dear Art,

There must be no problem with it. Of course, if you save a file using the newer version, some features that were not available in the older version might not be imported, but I think it is usual in case of any other software as well.

There could be a problem only with OLE copy (i.e. pasting Marvin Objects into MS Office documents), but Marvin 4.1.3 did not include this feature yet, so no problem with that either.

Best regards,

Akos
