What to use OrCad or Design Entry?

Kabal

I remember long time ago used Orcad, Now I have to use what comes within latest SPB package. And I see there is Design Entry CIS, and OrCad CIS.. they do look similar, I am already studying the docs and everything but I wanted to get some quick info, whats the deal in having two packages?

whats their difference? And which of those I should use to target my ongoing future designs? 

 

For example in SPB 16.6 I notice there is PCB Editor, which launches Allegro PCB, but thats still not the case with schematics, because of OrCad and DE CIS, so what should I target to?

    Design Entry CIS and OrCAD Capture CIS are exactly the same product, they are named differently to differentiate between the Allegro and OrCAD product Suites when purchased. For example, many of the OrCAD licensed products are available "standalone", you can purchase just the one product, but the Allegro products are always "bundles". Also the Allegro suites have used Design Entry as the "adjective" for the schematic entry tools, HDL and CIS were used to name the two schematic entry tools.

    Whether you use an OrCAD, or Design Entry, shortcut, you will get any valid license available listed in the Product Choices.
