Special Promotion for EAGLE PCB Users

Hey, guys! We just wanted to let you know that we are running a special promotion exclusively for users of the Eagle PCB tool! We feel PCB designers should be able to buy a product and once they have paid that's that!!

 

Here's what we're offering: if you move over from Eagle's PCB design tool before the end of this month we are providing CircuitStudio for USD 495*. That's 50% off current our current USD 995 price! To take advantage of this great deal, visit our website!

 

Hit me up if you have any questions!

 

-Camaryn Bolton

 

*Prices quoted are for USA region.

    It is tempting.

    I have a full Eagle license and probably will be okay for about a year. The big question for me is which package will be the next highly popular package? The ability to share designs with a large user base is important.

    Eagle has a huge user base compared to other packages. What will happen to this user base?

    I expect their user base to erode substantially due to the new license scheme, but will they hang on to enough market share to make it a market leader in terms of seats?

    The door is open for others to take some of the user base, but are any other packages attractive enough to take a really significant share?

    I think it will still be a tough decision in a year when I will be considering choices as I am not keen on the subscription model.

    I have other concerns but also concerns ... It's tempting but for now it is not the worth. There are some easy questions that I will see how can be answered and how easy it is to do.

     

    How to convert Eagle previous projects to Altium?

    How to reuse the custom libraries already designed?

    How is possible to generate a g-code for milling prototypes with Altium? This is my typical pre-prototyping PCB phase to avoid making many PCB circuits prototyping outside and this save an incredible amount of fime.

     

    These are just the most important concerns I have. I have just downloaded now the free trial to have time at least to make a test before consciously deciding what to do.

     

    Last but not least, Eagle has both Mac and Windows versions, and Altium ?

     

    A reply by the author of this post is also welcome.

    Altium is Windows only as far as I am aware. This alone makes it worthless to me.

    I really like how this debate has remained cordial and respectful, despite differing points of view.

    I created a poll to try and capture the spectrum of opinions:

    Which CAD Licensing Model Is Preferred?
