Manual Version 6 - Cadsoft

2 Installation
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.
So you can upgrade an already installed Light Edition with a Professional
Edition, for example.
2.5 Multiple User Licenses
Multiple-user licenses may be installed separately on different computers, or
may be used in a network within the scope of the license conditions. The
installation procedure in a network is generally the same as that on a standalone
computer, and is described in the section on New Installations on
page 25.
Notes for Installing in a Network
The user rights of multiple-user licenses differ from those of the single-user
version. The software itself does not contain any special network mechanism,
and can therefore be used on most networks.
A typical installation may be performed as the following:
The EAGLE program is installed on a server.
Library, design, ULP, project and other directories can be freely chosen.
After installation, EAGLE is started and licensed from one of the
workstations. This requires write access in the subdirectory bin of the EAGLE
directory. The license file eagle.key that has been created is not changed
again after the installation. Write access is no longer required.
EAGLE can now be called from all the other workstations.
Please ensure 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 or Mac OS X) is located in this directory. Further
subdirectories can then, for instance, contain individual projects.
