Upgrading Eagle

e14 Contributor
e14 Contributor 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

    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:

    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.

    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

    What makes you think so?

     

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