Then in this meaning AutoDesk says to its customers: "pay or kill your company!" No?!!! If so, as you explained, then there will be an absolut catastrophic situation like "Tschernobyls atomic explosion" ! I guess this is one to put to Autodesk and see what they think. I don't know if there would be other implications for this though so they may need to add in additional scaling factors in the trade off between area and layers.
That way you could have a smaller board with more layers or a larger board with less layers so long as the total routing area stayed within the limit of the equivalent routing area of a 160cm^2 4-layer board. This opens up the possibility of taller or wider boards so long as they still fitted within the restrictions of the overall board area.Īn idea I had was the concept of "maximum routing area" in which it would be possible to trade board area for layers and vice versa. I think having a way to allow 6-layers would be beneficial for a lot of people.Īnother improvement is that the size restriction is now based on board area rather than the fixed dimensions of 100mm x 160mm of the previous versions. The main one being in the next release which I believe is due out soon, the Standard edition will have it's layer count increased to 4-layers instead of just 2-layers. There are some improvements in the licensing coming. The longer the subscription you take the lower the average annual cost becomes. There are now options for monthly, or 1, 2 or 3 years. Yes, depending on how you use EAGLE and what license you had previously for some it would work out more, some less.
#EAGLE 7.7.0 LICENSE FILE UPDATE#
I believe the software will revert to the freeware license in this situation so you will still be able to view your designs and run CAM jobs etc but you will only be able to edit within the capabilities of the freeware licence.īefore the update was after 3 years +- and about same price but ifyou must paid every year it is expensive.
#EAGLE 7.7.0 LICENSE FILE FULL#
No, if you stop you subscription then you will no longer have entitlement to the full capabilities of the version you paid for. Ok but if you stop to paid can you use the last paid version to work after period? You have options of monthly, or 1, 2 or 3 years for the subscription period and the average annual cost goes down with longer subscription periods. It is month or year to get the last update version. Wait a few days, there should be more answers soon. The new licence is bad: Some of the people here (mainly the top members) have their own company, and if they can't access what they have created for whatever reason (if ever the software company goes down, don't laugh, it has happened), then they lose their work, with potentially disastrous results. In the end, it saves people like me lots of money. The new licence is good: If you only need to create boards for 3 months, then only pay for 3 months.
What if you create all your work, and the you can no longer access them? The argument is currently on-going from what I can tell, people have asked to be able to at least have read-only rights on the work they have created. I'm interested in Eagle 8, but some people don't want to switch for the new licence system. I'm on Eagle 7.7, and even if I cheat a little (I have a teacher's licence), I know that I can use my schematics even a few years later.
