Hello All.
I would like to remember again that there is a superb free tool suite for schematics and PCB.
If you want to get rid of your licenses. I you ever tought about the serious problem of having all your libraries, your designs locked to a certain software and only beeing able to open your designs when you have the licen$e.
Forget all those problems.
Just use KICAD.
I changed all my designs and have been successfuly designing with KIcad. No crashs, no licenses, all files are ascii, the formats are open, the source code is available....simply GPL, great. Multiplatform: That means it runs in Window$ and also in Linux!!!
Please give it a try, you will not regret.
Get it at:

or at the original site from Prof. Jean Pierre Charras in France:

Hope it helps.

PS: I forgot to say that the suite is composed of a schematic capture, PCB, Gerberview, 3D viewer and a Netlist generator/comparator. Spice netlists can be easily generated.
