    As long as you have the license file and the installation key, it's no

    problem. Get "your" software version here

    <ftp://ftp.cadsoft.de/eagle/program/>

    if it's not older than 4.0.

    Tilmann,

    Thanks so much for your prompt reply.  I do have License key but I'm running 6.5.0 which is not listed.

    Hi Tilman,

     

    I hope you're doing well. This is not true, we are still supporting our

    legacy users by maintaining access to the old versions and sending out

    licensing materials for the old versions of EAGLE.

     

    So if Eileen has lost these materials she can e-mail

    sales@cadsoftusa.com and have it resent. Same goes for any of our legacy

    users.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    JFTR: With EAGLE, it's always advisable to use the latest release of the

    given major version... (i.e. 4.09r2, 4.16r2, 5.12, 6.6, 7.7)
