Trace custom libraries

Sorry to post this here, but figured this was the best place to ask this
question. We're starting to use Trace more and more for energy
modeling, now that it does things like ASHRAE 62 calcs and Fan Power
calcs automatically. However, the biggest stumbling block right now is
that we all have individual licenses for Trace, and so we have to
remember to continuously export / import custom libraries. This is a
pain, but I don't think we can make a network version of Trace run on
our system at the speed we need.

Is there a way to "bind" libraries to a project file?

Ideally we want a company-wide library with utility rate structures,
glass types, etc that we continuously add to, and that gets bound to all
new project files so that we don't have to mess with exporting and
importing libraries.

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance,
