As all Eagle users will know, Eagle was acquired from Premier Farnell at the start of the year and Eagle 8, the new version, has a completely different licensing model - it's now subscription based, starting at USD 15/pcm for the "standard" version and going up to USD 65/pcm for the "professional" ones.
I'm a long-time Eagle user, probably for more than 15 years, so have a lot invested in it in terms of libraries and existing designs. However, I can stake USD 100/pa (the annual up-front cost of the USD 15/pcm option). but you need to be connected to the internet every couple of weeks for your Eagle license to stay active. If it expires, I'm told that you can still generate Gerbers from your old designs and even export in the old V7 format using the free version - our old licenses and software will keep working. 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...
