Hi, I want to explain the difference between orchid light or pea spice light and or cat trial. So when you go on orchid or cadences website, you can see the free or cat light download, you sign up and then put in your information and you can download the lite version for free. What's good to note about the orkut lite version is that you only get 75 minutes or less in your project. So your project needs to have 75 or less nodes, nets and things like that. It also needs to have 100 or less parts in the project. So you can only stick to simple designs.
Now you can get the word cat free trial or the P spice free trial, they are the same thing. They'll both take you to start your free or cap trial today the same page. But and what's good to note about or cat trial or P spice trial is that you can handle designs larger than 75 nets or greater than 100 parts. You only get to do that for 30 days though. So if you You want to build something like an Arduino clone or the huge board design multi layer boards and multiple, like hundreds of parts or something like that, and you want the Orca trial, but you get 30 days to complete your project. And you can sign up for a trial and a free trial for the 30 days on your computer.
However, note that even if you use multiple emails or sign up for multiple trials, you get one installation per computer. They tag your device that is cadence. The software tags your device so you only get one installation per computer. So just a quick recap, the Orca trial can allow you to do complex designs greater than 75 minutes and greater than 100 parts in the design. But you only get that for 30 days. The orchid light allows you to do simple designs that are 75 minutes or less with less than 100 parts, but you get to keep it forever.
So that is different Between the word cat trial and or cat light, do not do the trial until you are ready to do a complex design with 75 or more nets, well greater than 75 nets or greater than 100 parts. Otherwise, stick with or cat light. If your designs are simple enough
