ok, finally went to install and update X6 via the internet. what a drag/problem I knew this would be... so here goes.
Installed the intial X6 fine, got email for 90 days tech support etc..I guess it activated and sent serial to my account/corel. ..went to update to 6.1...seemed to install fine... seemed to see something about getting a STANDARD membership. So figured..ok...going great... well.... went to install 6.2 and the problem started.
now it says I don't have a level of membership or something? cannot install 6.2 or the hotfix after.
I will contact customer support when I get a moment, but wondering if anybody knows why this is happening. such a drag jumping through hoops just to UPDATE my software. I don't care about the extra MEMBER features...I want the FIXES...which should install if member status is FINE or NOT FINE.
I might just stick with X5 as it is working fine...i.e. doesn't BOMB when UPDATING TEXT of prior version files, new way of powerclip annoyance etc.
Like Stefan says, check your Corel account and see what serial number has been activated for X6.Chances are that you have used the wrong password or something when trying to activate X6.2, and therefore Corel doesn't recognize you.
Hmmm, How can I fix this?
Not knowing how Corel's new Membership thing worked, I installed CorelDraw X6 on my system at work using the boxed version our company bought. When I signed in I used my personal email address because I didn't want my Corel email blocked by the company spam filter (which sometimes happens).
Afterward, I bought CorelDraw X6 for use at home, and I used my personal email again.
What I would like to do is have the work installation refer to my work email address. How do I change the default email address related to the copy I have on my work system? Or does it even matter?
Thanks
Hello folivio; About the last post. you may have to wait for Corel to open after New Years, but you should be able to run the program until then. If you are using the 64 bit ver. expect some trouble until you get the 6.2 update. With the 6.2 update the program run very good.

I updated to version 6.3 and am on a 64 bit ver. I went to open a drawing with only a text box and rectangle on it. I edit text pull down on the text box, change the wording and crash coreldraw when I try to get out. Crashed 10 times. Ended up re-installing original version. Anyone else have a similar problem with x6.3?

During the installation you should have a message that prompt ypu that the install program will remove the database of FontNavigator. So, you must open FontNavigator before use CoreldRAW and search for font on ypur local hard disk drive, for create a new database
Thanks for the help. I believe that took care of my problem. Thanks again
