They have offered one with the 9.1 version.
It seems they no longer offer student licenses, this is also the reason why
i won't get a new version. I'm stuck with 9.1 (or 9.2 with all the updates 
i think)
and that's it. there are no bugs known to me so i basically can use it as 
long as i want
(i think the license says i shouldn't use it any more when i am no longer 
a student and
i am not allowed to use it for commercial purposes - so in not too long a 
time that will be a problem).
Also the operating systems change, and i definitely can't use it forever.


I'm looking for another software too, didn't like eagle too much.

Orcad 9.2 is really good, and it is hard to reach this level for a cheap 
software.
So i am reluctant to change.
