Are older versions of eagle available anywhere?
« on: June 15, 2019, 08:30:47 am »
Hi, first post here so, hello everyone! :-)

I'm getting back into electronics (one of many hobbies) after a bit of a pause (and several computer & operating system changes) and am having problems finding my old executables...

I'm looking for old versions because I actually bought the a damn license at the time! I think the latest version I used was 5.7 (on Mac and Linux).

Anyone know where I could download that from? I didn't find it at Autodesk...

Anyone know which is the latest version that would still accept my license key?

[EDIT] Uh, hang on! Now I've found it (ftp.cadsoft.de) -- but having problems installing it. Maybe because I'm now 64-bit linux...?

I have Windows versions:
   v6.6, v7.0, v7.1, v7.2  32-bit
   v7.3  64-bit

No Linux or Mac versions.

They are approx. 50MB file size.

Thanks, but no Windows here...

So, ftp.cadsoft.de has version 5.12 available. After downloading it, and then installing ia32-libs, and then finding a libpng12 (removed from Ubuntu...?) and then installing libjpeg62 and so on...

Finally it runs and asks for my license file (eagle.key?) AND the 10 letter key (the contents of the file???)

And then it says (in German) that this license doesn't work with this key!

But then I copied my old eagle directory from some ancient drive to my home directory, changed ownership of /opt/eagle to myself (just for fun) aaaand..... IT WORKS!

Gods! The UI is crap. :-)
