Hi,
Using the neat feature of the export (multiple) methods. Since Skyline is usually installed on personal computers and not on the MS-linked computer, it would be great to generate those methods anyway. Is this a thermo requirement, or is there a workaround to install the necessary software on the user PCs as well?

thank you!

It varies by mass spec type, but yes, this is one where the vendor software has to be on the same machine for method export to work.

Thanks for using the Skyline support board,

I contacted Thermo and asked if there is a version of Stellar software you can install on your Skyline workstation. I'll let you know when they respond.

This is what Thermo wrote:
Yes there is a so-called “Workstation” installer of the software that lets you use method editor, and when this is installed, one can export methods from PRM Conductor too. It can be downloaded from thermo.flexnetoperations.com
Hope it helps
