By the second version of CorelDraw, I was able to create some respectable graphics for the various newsletters I was doing page layout for, but until I discovered the AmiPro WordProcessor for Windows Corel was my only Windows app.Īt the time I was running Dr DOS with the GEM GUI by Digital Research. They gave me a beta of their new graphics program for Window and I remember it coming with software like visual basic or something to customize it. They contacted me by phone after stopping at their booth at a computer graphics conference in Chicago in 1989. Ĭorel is a very different company culture than when they were founded. ![]() ![]() There will be a huge learning curve to learn Inkscape, but Corel is out of my life now. Imagine how delighted I was to be able to open my Corel files. I'm sure I wouldn't be able to reregister the program so I went out to look for a replacement and found this. Just this week I had to replace my hard drive. Every time I launched the program the window popped up saying it was illegal but I could still do everything. ![]() Their final message to me was to say that they would disable my program and I would be able to view files, but not modify or print. I challenged them to find a receipt for everything they had purchased in the past 9 years but didn't get an answer to that. The final message I sent included pictures of the DVD case, the DVD, and the serial number stickers. I stated my copy was legal and tried every way to prove it was. In February 2019, I got an email from Corel stating they thought I was using an illegal version, and offered to sell me the current version for 1/2 price. Since 2010 I've been on Version X5, which was doing everything I needed it to do, so no need to upgrade. I've been using CorelDraw since Version 3, about 1995 or so.
