Long anticipated, Cadence has finally begun the end-of-life (EOL) process for OrCAD Layout. Cadence distributors emailed their customers in late June that:

'Effective July 31, 2007, Cadence will no longer sell ... OrCAD Layout based technology products...We acknowledge that transitioning software systems is never easy and is often a juggling act between investing in learning new technologies and meeting current business priorities.'

Their only recommended transition path is a move to Allegro technology - infamous for its hard-to-learn, expensive, high-speed upgrades.
