It seems the answer is... now.

Autodesk EAGLE PCB Design Software

It seems the

answer is... now.

Do you have some inside info? I don't see anything...

I notice they just changed the name of their Twitter account from

CadSoftTech to ADSKEAGLE.

Hi All,

It actually has released already but our site hasn't changed over.

It will become more obvious once the website switches. If you guys have

any questions I'll be here.

Best Regards,

Jorge Garcia

One of the new exciting features:

Autodesk & Cadsoft will try again to enforce a "licence management"

system that will require you to have an internet connection...

They seem to have forgotten this:

Dear Valued EAGLE Customer,

 

With the release of EAGLE v7, CadSoft Computer introduced a new

License Management system for EAGLE in order to better protect

our intellectual property and offer more flexibility and control

to customers with multi-user licenses on a network. During the

two weeks since the launch of EAGLE v7, we have been listening

carefully to your constructive feedback and concerns about the

new License Management technology and have decided to remove the

license management features from EAGLE v7.

 

CadSoft Computer has always, and will always, put the customer

needs at the focus of everything we do. We understand that for a

large group of our customers the current License Management is

causing limitations or is simply not usable in your current work

flow. Therefore, we have decided to withdraw the new License

Management system with immediate effect.

Sorry. I was at work and didn't click right though on the download. It seems that if you do you get the old Eagle 7.6 (not even 7.7)

Hi Joop,

It was nice to chat with you on friday. I'll never forget that fiasco

with Newark. There were a lot of factors that made that implementation

unuseable. I've played with this one. Even though I know that any change

in this area is going to be met with resistance, this implementation is

probably the least annoying.

So here are the details:

- Gone are key files and installation codes. No more having to store

them or remembering where you put them. Now your EAGLE license will be

tied to you Autodesk Account. When EAGLE starts up for the first time

you will have to login to your Autodesk Account and EAGLE will hit the

Autodesk server to check your entitlement(this is what Autodesk calls

your license).

If everything checks out, you'll be greeted with the control panel. If

you close EAGLE and open it again it will automatically use the

credentials you supplied previously and just start.

- EAGLE can work in offline mode for 14 days. The countdown starts from

the last time EAGLE was able to hit Autodesk servers. So if you go on a

business trip you don't have to worry about Wifi or anything like that.

It is VITAL that you don't sign out. If you sign out and then go

offline, EAGLE won't have your licensing credentials and you won't be

able to work.

That is basically all there is to it. At a minimum you need to be able

to connect to the internet once every two weeks in order to use EAGLE.

This is the same licensing model Fusion uses and it seems to be working

pretty good for them.

Thought it would be useful to spell it out clearly. Let me know if there

are any questions or if I missed something.

Best Regards,

Jorge Garcia

No need to throw out the key files and registration codes.

Nobody asked for that, they have been working fine.

What happens when Autodesk pull the plug from their authentication server?

We will see how that is going to work out this time...
