Hello All,
I purchased Eagle (Hobbyist) on 3/3/14. Now that version 7 is out. Am I stuck having to pay full price again after 4 months of use?
Thanks

Hello Anthony,
There was an interim promotion for a free upgrade to v7 to help around the
transition. Unfortunately it started on April 15th, just after you
purchased your license.
However, you can upgrade your hobbyist license so at least you don't have
to pay full price for the upgrade. You can do so here:
http://www.eaglecentral.ca/eagle/eagle-v7-license-upgrade/eagle-v7-standard-hobbyist-upgrade
NOTE: You'll need to include a Host ID for any single-user licenses now.
The easiest way seems to be to install the version of EAGLE you want and
run it in freeware mode to start. The license window should have your Host
ID which you can then use to place your order. There are other ways to do
this, but they involve installing other software.
Cheers,
James.

James,
Thanks for the quick reply.
I work in software and I totally understand. Sure the timing sucks but that's just how it goes sometimes. The link you provided was exactly what I was looking for. I also appreciate the completeness of your reply.
Eagle is an excellent piece of software so I don't mind the pinch of the upgrade. Thanks.
I purchased Eagle (Hobbyist) on 26 jun 2014..... just 3 weeks ago...
I must buy upgrade ?
