Upgrading Eagle

Former Member
Former Member over 15 years ago

Hi

 

I have tried out the Eagle Freemium with great success, and am now deciding whether I should purchase the Standard or Pro version.  Can someone tell me whether if I purchase the Standard version and find in the future I need the Pro for a larger board layout whether I can upgrade or would I need to purchase the entire Pro version again?

 

Sorry if this question has been asked before, but I could not find it!

 

Regards,

James

    Hi,

    I think that you can't update the standart version to obtain a pro edition.

    i afraid that the only solution is to buy it again.

    What makes you think so?

     

    AFAIK, it has always been possible to upgrade to "larger" versions.

    The original question is alread answered.

    As Jim Littlefield wrote in his message:

    >> Jim

     

    BTW:

    1.

    You don't have to buy this version again. I suppose Dewdy bought

    a license for version 5 (he works with 5.2.0), so he can use all

    the following releases 5.x.x without extra costs.

     

    2.

    It is possible to buy an upgrade from standard edition to professional

    edition. You simply pay the difference of the two prices.

    Tillman's answer is correct

    I'm afraid you are referencing the wrong message.

     

    The OP of this thread is visible only in the element-14 forum - this is

    one more example of how extremely poor these interfaces work. image

     

    Here's the OP (quoted), posted by a James Cooper on 27.09.10:

     

    I have tried out the Eagle Freemium with great success, and am now

    deciding whether I should purchase the Standard or Pro version.  Can

    someone tell me whether if I purchase the Standard version and find

    in the future I need the Pro for a larger board layout whether I can

    upgrade or would I need to purchase the entire Pro version again?

     

    It's boring that those forums keep mangling the newsgroup data. If they

    can't correctly deal with them, they'd better stop accessing the

    newsgroups at all...

    Hi Tilman,

     

    thank you for clarifying things.

    I basically don't use element-14 for the CadSoft nntp groups.

    So I referred to the wrong message which has the same subject and

    was posted some days ago in this group.

     

    I was not aware that messages posted via element14 can get lost and

    are not visible in the original CadSoft groups. I hope somebody of

    the responsible persons reads this and will react on it.

    Not only that, my Thunderbird 3 keeps resetting this forum and insisting

    on downloaded all one million headers again. I don't know if this is due

    to the recent changes in Thunderbird or the mangling that Tilmann spoke

    of, but it started around the time element14 became part of our group.

    afaik, it's only eagle.support that gets this problem. eagle.suggest and

    userchat seem immune.

    I see this get a bit off-topic, but just to comment that:

    This does not happen on Outlook express (nor on NewsTap on my ipad/iphone).

    But I saw something strange some days ago on my iphone. The groups were all

    flooded with some LoadRunDiscussion topics (as on the test forum) , but

    later that day when I logged into my pc, they did not show up on Outlook

    express. I wonder if Cadsoft deleted them...  They are still there on my

    iphone..

    That was a glitch in the element14 web interface.

    At some point I manually canceled all those messages, so if you

    have synced with the news server while these postings were still

    there, you may still see them. Later syncs no longer got them.
