To me, the trial-, academic-, crippled-, whatsoever-licenses just look
like baits to lure users into vendor lock-in. Give-away now, cash-in
later, when hooked. Just happened last week at my university day-job: An
eagle schematics provided by colleague at a different institute could not
be opened for editing with eagle v4 because it was saved with eagle v5.
This resulted in cash-flow at CadSoft for an update of our multi-user
license. There is no option to save in backward compatible format...
