If commercial licenses remain completely out of budget, consider utilizing robust open-source alternatives that carry no licensing fees:
: Configuring PLC components to auto-populate addresses based on project settings.
However, I can suggest some alternatives:
A completely free, open-source desktop application for creating electrical diagrams.
: Consider purchasing the software or a subscription. This ensures you get legitimate access to the software and any updates or support.
What (like PLC management or 3D cabinetry) do you need most? What is your ideal budget for design software?
: You can request a official demonstration or trial from the IGE+XAO website to test the "Expert" tier features legally.
I can recommend the safest, most cost-effective legal tools for your needs. Share public link
