For a single user doing non-commercial editing of e.g. the most commonly used [[Eurocard]] size, would require the ''Hobbyist'' edition, which costs €140. This allows boards of 100 x 160 mm (4 x 6.4 inches), up to 99 sheets and up to 6 signal layers. For commercial use, with the same limitations the ''Standard'' edition costs €690.<ref>[http://www.cadsoftusa.com/eagle-pcb-design-software/product-overview/?language=en EAGLE PCB Software]</ref> |
