Can I install Eagle 6.2 on two PC's with 1 user lisense or not??

murray106

Hi,

 

I am interested in purchasing Eagle 6.2 Pro Schematic & Layout from Farnell in the UK. My question is can I install the software on both my desktop and laptop PC’s as I often use both for PCB design?

 

I've read a few previous posts about saving your key file and installation code but I've just come off the phone to Farnell tech support and was told it's not possible to install on two machines??

 

I'd be very grateful if somebody could please clarify this before I blow £1000 on something I can only use on one PC?


 

Also if I only purchase the schematic and layout modules, can I upgrade  to include the auto router at a later date? And could I upgrade from say Standard edition schematic & layout to Pro schematic & layout?

 

Cadsoft doesn't seem to make this information available anywhere (from what I can see?) and you need a serial number to view upgrade options which seems a bit stupid when I want to check my options before I buy...

 

Many thanks,

 

Paul…

    Hi Paul,

     

    I hope you are doing well. You CAN install EAGLE on as many computers as

    you own as long as you're the only user of the software. It seems there

    was some misinformation there.

    You can upgrade at a later date to include the autorouter, however

    you'll end up paying more than if you had just purchased the three

    together(there's a built-in discount to getting all of the modules

    together).

     

    For example if you buy the pro with all three modules outright the cost is:

     

    $1640.00

     

    If you buy first the layout and schematic that will cost:

    $1145

    Adding the autorouter later on will cost:

    $625

     

    For a grand total of : $1770

     

    All of the pricing information can be found at:

    If you are interested in purchasing EAGLE feel free to contact

    sales@cadsoftusa.
