Vernor was just the beginning (even tho Vernor may have been violating copyright laws - not sure). Be interesting to see this tested in court. Having to rely on or get permission from a third party to exploit your work is questionable at best. You could end up with a bunch of files of YOUR DESIGNS in a proprietary format that you can no longer access. One of the things that you have to consider when using a restrictive license like Autodesk or even a cookie jar type license from Solidworks. This creates some interesting legal issues that have yet to be fully hashed out in precedents of various courts.

This is in-line with the 'edict' found in the Fenwick and West document (the guys that did the first shrink wrap for Apple back in 1975) - see page 13 of the PDF Did you ever wonder why Adobe and Autodesk killed licensing? This is why. a simple licensing scheme using a simple license file. Even tho the Altium guys hate me I have to say that there is three things good about Altium: 1.

Just maintain backups of the ALF file and Full Installer of the version your ALF is good for (full installers are available on their Downloads section). With the ALF file you have control of you disaster recovery. We have machines that sit behind One Way Transfers - see the patent for one here. That's what I've done since they started the network/on-demand licensing silly shit way back when. I'll be on the lookout for Altium questions I might be able to answer. They should be able to send you a download link for it. If you cannot find a specific release that you were really comfortable with, go to our website and ask for the offline installer there.

You will always be able to renew and upgrade your Altium Designer Perpetual license. (I would say that in extreme cases it can be up to half of a new license cost). I just want to be clear that upgrading a license will never cost the same as purchasing a new license, unless the license is not perpetual it is actually time-based. If I am not mistaken it's 3 years or more. If you decide not to renew for a year, 2 years, or more there will be a fee per year on top of the subscription cost to get you back in it. Its PCB design capabilities and product management features make it a very powerful tool.Hey guys, I work at Altium and I would like to clarify a few questions here: What happens if your subscription lapses or you decide not to renew for a while? If you lapse for a few months there might be an extra fee per month charged on top of your subscription. If you are looking for a program to help manage the development of a PCB design from start to finish, Altium Designer is a great option. To make things even more convenient you can connect projects directly to a supply chain management system. This makes it easy for you to manage, update, and reuse design files easily and reliably. The program uses a unified data model so all phases of the design process easily integrate.

Designer also allows you to test bending of your PCB virtually and includes 3D movie testing so you can see the bending in action.Д«esides designing PCBs, Altium Designer also has features to simplify project management. The Layer Stack Manager feature allows you to keep track of layer stacks and produce reports of layer stack properties. It can properly design embedded components to fit within the PCB layer stack to increase PCB density. It is also used for associated library and release management automation.Дesigner gives you the ability to develop high performance PCBs and test them in different scenarios.
