Upgrading Eagle

Eagle upgrade is impossible... For that matter it is hard to buy it too!

I had this problem when i first bought it too, and now deja-vu all over again.

I payed them.... That part always seems to work <grin>

Then I try to upgrade to V6 and it says "you have a non-profit license contact cadsoft"... when I contacted them was when they asked me to pay them which I did... and that worked.  But then I still can't upgrade.  it stil says the same thing.

I treid re-downloading and using my existing license file.  - it says it is not allowed

I tried re-running the original license file getter script in the packing list from the first package, they no longer seem to send a packing list, ... to get a new license key... it says my download code is ILLEGAL and puts up all sorts of broken image links, and the page is all yellow (old cadsoft design).

So far it has only been a couple of days.... Maybe someone should put "Ecommerce" into the suggestion box.

Sorry to be so peevish.

Hi Bruce0,

Don't worry we still send packing lists:) If you haven't received a new

packing list for the upgrade, or if you've already used it then contact

us and we'll send it again.

The packing list e-mail contains a PDF attached, on the second page

you'll see a link that will take you to our server to download your key

file and obtain your installation code.

Once you follow the link, you'll reach a page that asks for your serial

number and download code both of which can be found in the PDF. Once you

enter those click "Get License". This will take you to the End User

License Agreement page, go ahead and accept it. Now you'll reach a page

with a button that says download .key. Look above the button in bold

you'll see ten lowercase letters, write them down, that's your

INSTALLATION CODE. Now click the button to download the KEY FILE, make

sure you know where it's being saved to.

If you haven't already done so download the latest version of EAGLE from

www.cadsoftusa.com-> Downloads-> Betatest (currently our latest release

is a beta). Install it as normal. Now near the end it will pop up  with

a box asking you if you want to "use a license file", "use Freemium

code", "Run as Freeware", or "cancel". Select "use license file" and

then provide the path to the key file you downloaded, browsing to the

file is the easiest way and then type in your installation code.

If you've already installed the latest version of EAGLE on your machine,

then you can license it by clicking Help -> EAGLE License from the EAGLE

control panel.

Sorry to be so verbose, I hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Jorge Garcia
