Lorenz,

 

I think that is your problem.  The "EAGLE way" of doing that is to add

layers in pairs, starting from outside in.  So I think the 6 layer license

expects you to use layers 1,2,3,14,15,16.  CadSoft, can you confirm?

James, Lorenz,

this is correct. We use layers 1 2 3 1 4 15 16.

same 'problem' here 8-)

I asked just out of curiosity (and because I too thought that might be

the OTs problem)

I've seen boards using layers 1,2,3,4,5 & 16.

Is there a way to get such boards editable with the standard edition?

I have a full license so I can't really tell.

Hi,

 

I have to modify an existing eagle schematic/pcb.

This pcb have 4 layers.

 

I bought the "Standart edition" licence of Eagle, which normaly can perform: 99 schematic sheets, 6 signal layers, 160x100mm routing area.

I'm under Linux, and installed the package of my distribution ( Ubuntu ), Eagle is in 5.7.0 version .

The license seems to be correctly registered in the software.

 

>

I can modify the TOP and BOTTOM wires but when I want to modify wires in inner layers ( Route2, Route3 here ) I have this error message:

 

        The standard edition of eagle can't perform the requested action !

 

Is there a way to exatly know what is blocking the software ?

Thanks for your advices.

 

The Standard Edition support 6 signal layers (1,2,3,14,15,16)

from version 5.8.0 on. Please install the newer EAGLE software

and it will work.

Thanks for your advices.

Make sure your license file was accepted.  Close all the windows except for

Control Panel and close any projects.  Then close EAGLE and reopen it. When

you reopen it you will see on the right-hand pane (you may have to make the

window bigger) the license information.  It will tell you the type of

license you have installed.  So make sure that it matches your

expectations.

As for number of layers, if you had a design with 2 layers in the PCB and

then installed the license, you still have to enable the other layers in

the PCB in the DRC->Layers tab.  Just because you installed a license

doesn't mean all 2 layer PCB's should now become 6 by default--you still

have to set each board up for the appropriate number of layers.

Cheers,

James.
