Altium Circuit Studio Development???

engineereddownunder

My license for Circuit Studio has just come up for renewal, and after just double checking there has been next to no activity in the development world around Circuit Studio - is it worth renewing the license or is this product a dead duck? The last version release was in May last year with apologies for how little it contained and promises of a more major release later in the year - which never came, and which has been followed up by silence (as far as I can tell) from Altium... Thoughts? Anyone seen a recent roadmap for this software? I actually really like the software but don't want to pour money into something that is not being actively developed.

  • This same story has been going on for years. I renewed once a few years ago, not again. Does that mean CS is terrible, no. You can do a design with it. Try the demo, if it works for you, fine, just never expect it to change from what you have. If there is an update someday great but I am not holding my breath. I've heard too many promises and excuses.

    I disagree a bit with you, I'm afraid.

    If they are charging annual maintenace, then there should be a road map, and there shoudl CERTAINLY be someway to ask the developers about upcoming updates.

    It's not a free product, and although you initially purchase a perpetual licence, many of us are also paying for an annual maintenace licence, but we are not getting any maintenance releases!

    Not sure how anything I said is contrary to what you allude to. Unless you need some of the services that are tied to the subscription, stop buying it.
