Upgrading Eagle

Question

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

What makes you think so?

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

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
