The ''Light'' edition can be used for free, for non-profit or evaluation. This is limited to boards of 100 x 80 mm (4 x 3.2 inches), only top and bottom signal layers, and the schematic editor can only create one sheet. It can however Load, view and print drawings that exceed these limits.<ref>[http://www.cadsoftusa.com/download-eagle/freeware/?language=en Free EAGLE]</ref> |

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 name="oview" /> |
