Eagle license info stored in .brd and .sch files

Former Member

HI

 

I am wondering whether eagle stores any information regarding license in.brd or .sch files. I have a few licenses (work, school, my personal) but I use only one of them for all my projects (I don't switch between licenses when I go from one project to another). Is it possible to determine what license (whose license) were the files created and modified with?

 

Best Regards

Qba

    I would sue my parents for such a name.

    AFAIK, the serial numbers of the last few licenses (with which they were

    edited) are stored somewhere in the files - but I don't know if you can

    easily obtain any useful information.

    There are four 9 byte encrypted serial numbers and 2 byte edit counter early

    in the file somewhere. It is not a straight forward job to find this (and I

    don't see the need).

    There exist an app made by the dark side where you can analyze this

    information, but you know you should stay away from the dark side. Maybe if

    you send your files to Cadsoft and ask nice, they could help you out if you

    really need to find out.
