This company can't seem to get anything right. My X5 is still fully functioning, despite messages randomly popping up saying it's functionality is disabled. I can't help thinking Corel is getting desperate and are using this tactic to force/scare legit users into upgrading. I've seen a forum thread where genuine users got this message and contacted Corel to get it sorted. That piracy message appears to be going out to the masses, even to users of genuine software. In a nutshell I'm really starting to think Corel, as a company, are a pack of crooks. Or completely uninstalling and reinstalling on a brand new install.

They dodge and divert and ask you to do all sorts of un-necessary stuff to a brand new default install (like putting all settings back to default on a brand new install). I've been in contact with support and been absolutely pulling my hair out. It seems since version X7 there is now a bug where you cannot stop a disabled layer from exporting to DXF.

Next thing I find I cannot stop disabled layers exporting to DXF. Well, I thought I'd like the new features of 2017 (offered in the amnesty deal) so $310 later I have 2017 installed. I've always recommended Coreldraw but now Corel have done a great job of turning me against them.Ībout a month ago I get the pop up messages saying my X5 is a pirate version and I have a limited time to take advantage of the amnesty deal before my X5 stops working. Had X5 for God knows how many years, always activated online on quite a few PCs over the years, got the patch upgrades etc.
