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. You will need to provide proof of ownership or purchase in order to receive support.I'm in exactly the same boat.
