"Allegro" historically refers to the PCB layout package but within the Cadence products now the lower-level PCB layout license is called OrCAD PCB. Allegro is the name of the higher level license. The databases are 100% compatible but the features are more limited in the OrCAD series. And yes, the SPB base package gets you both the schematic and layout tools. Unless you're a tier 1 company you will need to shop via a reseller such as ema-eda (for US customers).
