I am trying few circuit design and pcb tools/softwares.

I recently heard and visited cadence site and downloaded cadence orcad lite 16.5 (size was 980 mb).

It works in demo mode and read - (download page) * Limitations are in the size and complexity of the design.

okay, I designed a small chaser circuit with 555 and 4017, finally when created netlist and transferred to pcd -> pcb application started and then show me an error related to license - says license file was not found. (and closed it)

How could I get around this. Is it possible to open the schematic from the pcb editor etc....
I want to check the features.. pcb related.... will this support jumper addition (automatically)and negative artwork.


Kindly reply
 

Select "open board in OrCAD PCB Editor" radio button in create netlist > PCB Editor tab (this can found in bottom most section of dialog). This would launch PCB Editor in demo mode and you should not get any licensing error. All other option (to launch board) in this dialog would require a valid license.
