Cannot move part on board in free edition

I'm trying to arrange my parts on my board that is only 2.4in2 (1.75" x 1.375"), much less than the maximum board size (12.4in2) for the free edition of Autodesk Eagle, but I get the error "The free edition of EAGLE can't perform the requested action! Some objects extend outside the allowed board area."

 

What gives? I have a v7 license and I tried to move the parts around with that version and get the same error. This happens regardless of Eagle version or machine.

 

Autodesk Eagle v8.4.1

Mac OS Mojave v 10.14.6

Are you using only positive coordinates?

Unfortunately neither of your attachments are any use! We know what the dialog looks like and the result of a print operation eliminates the useful information. Post a screen shot (or, better, a screencast video) of the board editor.

I had temporarily extended the board below (0,0) and forgot about that requirement. I moved everything back to positive coordinates and now all is well. Thanks very much.

In offline mode my eagle went from premium to free version, this free version didn't allowed me to edit the pcb board. I logged in and it went to normal(back to premium).
