Generally, the majority of electrical devices are made up by a mechanical part and an electronic part. This electrical part consists in printedcircuit boards, where the different components are connected by means of copper pathways on a board made of insulating material.
The first step to obtain one of theseprinted circuit boards(PCBs) is to design it using one of the specific tools on the market. One of the most popular ones is OrCAD.
OrCAD is the most powerful and intuitive tool to design printed circuit boards. The demo version offers you the possibility to evaluate the following functions: OrCADCapture, OrCADCapture CIS Option, PSpice A/D, PSpice A/A, OrCADPCB Editor and SPECCTRA.
The basic steps that have to be taken to designa printed circuit board with OrCAD are:
1. Design the circuit by creating the schematic in the 'Capture' module.
2. Generate the circuit's netlist.
3. Import the netlist to 'LayoutPlus'.
4. Place the components and trace the pathways.
5. Generate the files of its design.
Once the design of the copper pathways on the board has been finished, and we have simulated the behavior of the design, the next step will be to design the PCB from an insulating material, like for example a photosensitive fiberglass board.

Preparing for Installation

Be sure to complete the following tasks before you begin installation of your OrCAD products.

OrCAD PCB Designer Lite is a Cadence product that assists electrical engineers and layout designers in the production of Printed Circuit Boards, providing them with a state-of-the art toolset that.

Uninstall the previous version of License Manager — installation of OrCAD 17.4 products requires the updated License Manager. Be sure to uninstall License Manager before you begin installation of the update.
Save your license file – EMA previously forwarded your license file to you as an email attachment when your request for OrCAD licensing was approved. You may have optionally received a control file that enables you to selectively install a subset of OrCAD products. If so, also save that control file.
Identify the Hostname of your server or local workstation – You need to verify the hostname of the server or workstation where your License Manager is installed. You can identify this by entering Hostname into a Command Prompt window.
Verify you have a USB port available (optional) – a USB port is necessary only if you plan to use a USB Flex ID key (dongle) for your product license and locking method.
Temporarily disable your security software – active security software may interfere with the installation files; it is recommended you disable security software before installation.
Verify you have Administrative rights – Admin rights are needed to conduct the installation of License Manager and recommended for the installation of OrCAD software products.
