    Hi,

     

    the Freemium version is a trial version and time limited. If you want to evaluate EAGLE furthermore, you could try EAGLE as "Freeware". It is unlimited, but offers only two signal layers (instead of four) and only one schematic sheet (instead of 4 in the Freemium).

    The Freeware option is offered in the licensing dialogue of EAGLE.

     

    Regards,

    Richard

    Hi Richard, Thanks for your reply, for the time being Freeware would do. Is there a seperate license or can I continue with the same license. How can I get Freeware activated. Thanks again, Tuanb.

    Hi,

     

    there is no special license file necessary. Simply go to the Help/EAGLE license.... menu of the EAGLE Control Panel and select the Freeware option.

    In case you are not able to start EAGLE, use for example the Windows Explorer, go into the  eagle/bin folder (which might be, for example,

    C:\Program Files\eagle-6.2.0\bin) and delete the file named eagle.key. Now start EAGLE and select the Freeware option.

     

    Regards,

    Richard
