A prize you don't get to keep

Former Member

I see that CadSoft are running a "Write a ULP" competition

 

The prize is "win a 1-year license of EAGLE Professional V6"

Hmmm.

    it is sort of funny... a huge company like Premier Farnell giving away a 

    price which they take back a year later.

     

     

    What could be less funny though, is that this could mean a new licensing 

    scheme for V6. I don't think it's possible right now to have a time 

    limited license.

    The reason I abanded my old PCB software was exactly for that reason: from 

    one version to the next they changed licensing to a subscription model: 

    renew every year or it would stop working. No thanks.

     

    As far as I know there's nothing to indicate that, so maybe it's just a 

    one time thing for the contest. Gave me a little scare...
