Perhaps they've seen what we do with scopes that have that kind of tier gating.

Exactly. This always happened with software.

It doesn't mean they will be able to curb piracy in any way, but they are free to try.

Well if they do it as a business, then what stops them from just pirating the whole thing right now? Legally there is no difference between hacking you license and just faking it entirely.

But I've never heard of any business which uses hacked scopes.

I have hacked my Agilent 54846B. It did run Linux with Openoffice.
OK, running is not the right word. It crawled.

Uky:
The Allegro (OrCAD) PCB Editor can be executed under both Windows and Linux.
(Separate downloads though) The original Cadence Schematic tool is Concept HDL
which also can be executed under Linux.

The Schematic Editor, old OrCAD "Capture" runs under Windows only.

Cadence released a new schematic tool a few years ago "System Capture".

Looks nice but asking for their strategy, if they intend to replace the old
OrCAD capture and Concept HDL tool with the new one has remained unanswered.
Recently, Cadence added a library converter from .OLB so I guess that
something is in the making.

Cadence also advertised a new product "something" but if it is a new
version 17.4+ (?) or a rebundle of a lot of options I cannot say.
