Lost Eagle 4 license file

MarkS.
MarkS. over 1 year ago

My company purchased eagle a long time ago.

We still have a serial number and an installation code.

Is there any way to get the license file again?

    AutoDesk no longer provides legacy license files. So if you've lost the license, there is no longer a way to retrieve it. https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/eagle-forum/email-for-autodesk-perpetual-eagle…

    As Baldengineer wrote about KiCAD import of eagle xml files - I have no experience with kicad but will offer to convert your eagle 4 design files to eagle7 xml. No charge, I'm retired after a stroke.

    I believe I lost mine once and got the company to resend it, but that was before they were sold. It makes sense that they would have kept old account data.

    I remember getting an email from autodesk that they would no longer supply license files for older eagle products. You would have to subscribe to current version or (cough,cough) get a cracked license. Not legal but some have. I run a legal copy of eagle 7.

    "You've been identified as a contact for a perpetual license of EAGLE for electronics design. The perpetual EAGLE license you currently own is yours and that will not change. Autodesk however will no longer create or supply any additional copies of license files that allow EAGLE to be moved to another computer. "

    I would suggest KiCad's EAGLE importer. However, it requires the XML file format introduced with EAGLE 6. So I do not think you'll be able to import files created with EAGLE 4.
