Mixing Standard & Professional licenses

Question

My company has a 3 seat Eagle Standard license. But now I need to make a PCB 6.5" x 4" which is a little bigger than Standard Layout can do. Can we buy a single license of Professional Layout and use it with our Standard Schematic?

To be clear you cannot use both license on same PC. Only each PC can be set to one type of license. If you select a pc for PRO it always will be Pro! And all PRO designed schematics belong to that PC only. Otherwise you will have BIG problems.

 I don't believe that is true. A design made with Eagle pro can always be opened with a standard or free version. However, if the number of layers or the dimensions exceeds the limit of the license, it will be opened in read-only mode. So, it's completely safe to use just one professional license by one person that create/edits the big project. The other persons can view the big project but can not edit. Also, the pro version can be used to create and edit small projects which can be edited by your colleagues, as long as you pay attention not to exceed the design limits for the licenses used by your colleagues.
