Good day all,
Well, I've been around awhile now and have tried Orcad Capture (ver 9
demo), CircuitMaker, SuperSpice and LTSpice.
I had initially given up on Orcad as being to complex, unnecessarily
detailed and being MUCH TOO EXPENSIVE for small time operators like
me.
When I started out, I just wanted something to draw and save simple
schematics!!!! Until I tried SPICE that is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now, Spice is most important !! Gotta have Spice (after trying it).
After trying all, Orcad has a lot of advantages, I'm doing the self
contained tutorial for the third time. I've seen the light.
I'm wondering if older versions of Orcad are affordable and how much
difference there is between the older versions and the latest
megabucks version.
I've seen Orcad 9 on ebay for $66, but always from a vendor in a
country where copyright laws aren't closely enforced:>: I won't even
give those people my email address!
However, if someone had ver 8 because they upgraded to ver 9, I'm
wondering if I could afford to buy it??? Also, does anyone know if
Cadence will transfer the software license from the old owner to me???
So, is Orcad worth trying again and does buying an older version make
it a cheaper option (remembering that it has to include Spice).
Hackers, password crackers and persons who DO NOT respect intellectual
