Nick, All,
I was gobsmacked when the licensing model for Eagle V8 was
announced. I was expecting/hoping for a model along the lines of
the Fusion 360 3D package i.e. free for hobbyists, education and
small businesses (less than < $100k turnover).
I did look around at other free or low cost offerings but like
you I have a huge time investment in Eagle and have many times
many Eagle library components draw up. My brother uses Design
Spark so I did look at it carefully. But I have stuck with Eagle
7.7. I realise this is a dead-end product but I'm still hopeful
that Autocad will think again and change the model.
I don't think there is anyway that Autocad can "turn off" Eagle 7.7?!?
Grahame

What have Eagle folk here done about this - just wondering... It annoys me slightly, but I guess the previous licensing model was not paying the bills and Autocad are promising great things...
