Professional Design engineers that need a powerful and easy to use interface PCB tool Research and development departments of large and medium size companies Startup Companies that need quick turn around results Design teams on a budget that need to develop custom hardware Electronic hobbyists Educational Institutions Anyone who needs to design their own circuits

5. Eagle supports designing by: Easy and intuitive usage On-line support Manual and automatic boards design process Support for product searching and purchasing (via DesignLink) Generating part list (BOM)

6. EAGLE Product Offering thru Elemet-14 EAGLE, like all CAD software is sold by a “seat” license. One “seat” means the customer bought a license where he can only load the software onto one computer. EAGLE comes in 3 editions: 1.FREEMIUM 2.STANDARD 3.PROFESSIONAL Within those editions are 3 Modules: 1. SCHEMATIC EDITOR 2. LAYOUT EDITOR 3. AUTOROUTER. Products
