The program has now been re-licensed. You can call up the license data

at any time in the EAGLE Control Panel by means of the Help/Product

Information menu.

2.5 MultipleUsersand NetworkLicenses

Multiple-user licenses may be installed separately on different comput

ers, or may be used in a network within the scope of the license condi

tions. The installation procedure in a network is generally the same as

that on a stand-alone computer, and is described in the section on New

Installations onpage 15.

The user rights of multiple-user or network licenses differ from those of

Atypicalinstallationcanlooklikethis:

The EAGLE program is installed on a server. Library, design, ULP, proj

ect and other directories can be freely chosen. After installation,

EAGLE is started and licensed from one of the workstations. This re

quires write access in the eagle/bin directory. The license file that has

been created, eagle.key, is not changed again after the installation. Write

accessisnolongerrequired.

EAGLE can now be called from all the other workstations. Please en

sure that all the workstations call EAGLE in the same way as was used

whenlicensing.

A private working directory (local or on the network) can now be set up

for each computer. A user-specific configuration file (eaglerc.usr under

Windows, or .eaglerc under Linux) is located in this directory. Further

sub-directoriescanthen,forinstance,containindividualprojects.

Alternatively it is possible for each computer on which EAGLE is to be

available to have a separate license. In this case, copy the eagle.key file

that was created in the EAGLE program directory (eagle/bin) into the

computer’s private working directory. When first starting the program,
