Can I use Merlin for project management on Windows?

A question we receive eventually in support is the following:

We have seen Merlin running on mac and are pretty sure it covers our needs for project management. Where do we find download files for Windows or Linux? We have no Macs in our company.

Our answer:

Merlin is a native Mac OS X application and Merlin Server is implemented as a MAC OS X system preference pane. Following system requirements apply:

  • Mac OS X, version 10.4.9 or newer
  • Mac OS X, version 10.8.x recommended

There is no Windows or Linux version available, sorry, but should you have at least one mac in your company you may install and use Merlin to share your projects for access over a web browser*, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch**.
