16.5 Licensing – What is included/not included with a seat of Allegro PCB Designer?

mcatramb91

Has anyone looked into the new Allegro 16.5 product offerings?  In reviewing the product matrix the higher tier Allegro PCB Design XL has been broken down into multiple options (High Speed / Miniaturization) to work with Allegro PCB Designer 16.5 (AKA Allegro PCB Performance Option L).  I am OK with this change because it does give you a little more flexibility. 

My issue is related to Allegro Design Authoring (DE-HDL) which according to the product matrix is included with the new Allegro PCB Designer 16.5 license.   When I open up Project Manager and select the Allegro PCB Designer license I do have the ability to run either Design Entry HDL or Allegro PCB Designer (Layout) but when I open the schematic and the layout at the same time it checks out two Allegro PCB Designer licenses. 

Maybe I am selecting the wrong product (license) during startup or maybe it is just the way it works in 16.5 but I cannot see tying up two Allegro PCB Designer licenses when all I want to do is cross probe between DE HDL and Allegro.

Has anyone seen this using a new 16.5 license and could possible shed some light on the subject?
 
Thanks in advance,
Mike Catrambone

    Allegro_performance is part of the Allegro PCB Design product. It is a "J" licese that will get checked by allegro.exe along with Allegro_studio and PCB_design_studio. It is present to allow one to run with a 16.5 license file, PCB Performance L with older releases (e.g. 16.3).
