i have some questions about the latest version of PCB Library Expert Pro (Free Version).

After installation, when start the program, it aks for "Cloud Key Activation" for enable export.

For use Library Expert FREE version is absolute necessary to activate the "Cloud Key" ?

With the "Cloud Key Activation" it's possible to switch from one CAD output format to another ? For example switch from Allegro/OrCAD PCB Editor to PADS Layout and vice-versa ?

I'm using the Library Expert Pro FREE Edition from many years. In older versions of the Library Expert, the switch from one CAD output format to another are free and easy. Is not available now ?

Thank you for giving all of us users the Library Expert Pro FREE edition.

Best Regards, Gianni.

V2020 Library Expert Pro is still free with all the features but it requires a Cloud License. 

All non-licensed versions of Library Expert Pro (from several years back) will be discontinued and disconnected from the internet in mid-October and will no longer function. 

If you want uninterrupted service and use of the software program, you must upgrade to V2020. 

Also, we will release the new 100% rewrite V2021 by November 1st and it requires a Cloud License. The same Cloud License that you used for the old V2020. So you have a path forward into the future. 

Thank you Thom,
