![]() I had to do a "factory restore" to one of these old PCs just recently, just days after the XP death date earlier this month. We still have a few older Windows XP based machines in our shop doing some specialized duties, like running a vinyl cutter. CorelDRAW X5 would not install under Windows 8. I had to move from version X5 to version X6 when I bought my latest work computer a little over a year ago. At some point everybody is going to be forced to upgrade. One could get away with using an old version of CorelDRAW, such as version X3, as long as old computers and old operating systems lasted forever. I think the CS6 applications that have newer versions will be removed from Creative Cloud downloads sometime in June or July. ![]() A couple CS6 apps (Fireworks and Encore) aren't getting any further upgrades. You could even run Illustrator CS6 and Illustrator CC on the same machine. By comparison Adobe allows Creative Cloud customers to run CS6 applications even though the CC applications have been out for several months now (and Adobe is still selling the CS6 perpetual license software). I don't understand why Corel would force any subscription based users to install X7. ![]() ![]() I would contact someone at Corel and ask if it is possible to reinstall X6 rather than X7. And that forces you to buy upgrades to the newer, more compatible plug-ins when they are released. All too often the latest versions will "break" many plug-ins. Anyone dependent on any plug-in/bridge software that runs inside CorelDRAW, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop or any other program like that strongly resist the urge to immediately jump on any upgrades to the latest versions. ![]()
