EAGLE Editions

EAGLE is available in three different editions to fit various user requirements.

Professional

The Professional edition has no limitations.

Standard

The Standard edition has the following limitations:

board area limited to 160x100mm (6.3x4inch), which corresponds to a full Eurocard
only four routing layers (Top, Route2, Route15 and Bottom)

Light

The Light edition has the following limitations:

board area limited to 100x80mm (4x3.2inch), which corresponds to half of a Eurocard
only two routing layers (Top and Bottom)
a schematic can consist of only one single sheet

If you receive an error message like

The Light edition of EAGLE can't perform the requested action!

this means that you are attempting to do something that would violate the limitations that apply to the EAGLE edition in use, like for example placing an element outside of the allowed area.

Both the Standard and Light edition of EAGLE can be used to view files created with the Professional edition, even if these drawings exceed the editing capabilities of the edition currently in use.

To check which edition your license has enabled, select "Help/Product information" from the Control Panel's menu.
