I was going to suggest careful reading of the license agreement but  
curiosity drove me to read it myself, and i couldn't find any!

Neither on the web page, nor during install or in the software help or  
install directory i could find any sort of license agreement detailing  
what i can and can't do.

IMO the failure to produce such an agreement (i should not be able to miss  
it) is enough to identify this software as uselessly limited.

You could ask them, but i expect they'll say you can't.
Until i am informed of the opposite i will continue to refuse producing  
any boards obviously coming from this software.

I would just bin the crap and use a software that isn't so restrictive.
