I just stumbled upon THIS LINK which is part says of CorelDraw, "Later this year, upgrades (download and box products) will no longer be available. Add Upgrade Protection to your purchase to get future versions at a fraction of the cost or choose a subscription, to always stay current." I did not take part in the webinar from earlier today, which I assume detailed what will happen later this year. Does anyone know? Does this mean Corel is moving to a subscription-only model for Draw? Am I correct to assume that anyone who has a licensed product before a subscription-only model begins will be able to keep that license, to use that version, regardless of his or her subscription status?
Thanks for your time.
Dunno. Sounds ominous, though.
If reading it in plain English is correct, I guess I'll stay with v.2018 and eventually drop using CD altogether when Windows breaks it.
The day Corel goes into a subscription only model, will mark the beginning of the end for me. For me at least, it seems this is the time to start hunting for reasonable alternatives.
For me too. I will probably stick to old version forever.
Please, read the Klaus answer:
"Customers will still be able to purchase new licenses for perpetual use - there is no intention to stop the software ownership purchase options in the foreseeable future"

I have read many fake news and incorrect assumptions.
This January Corel took payment for my annual subscription does it mean I will be able to receive a new upgrade or will I not be able to get the upgrade.

of course yes. You should receive a message from Corel but you can check on your account at corel.com
Thank you for your explanation Ariel
Every time that I click on the update the answer is there are no update available at this time
what should I look for on my account.

On the "downloads" section under your account it should be an option for download the newest version, but as we can read on other post, it's not available for all people, so maybe you should wait some days. Anyway, the best answer is to contact with the company
