I've found several threads regarding this question, but I'm still confused.
Seems that you can install Corel Draw on 3 machines, but you can use one copy at a time. What is not clear to me: this is regarding the subscription version or the full purchase version, or both?
Thanks!
LE: This answer is inexact -- my bad.
One could safely skip its reading.
I'll add the corrections in a later message within this conversation.
According to the EULA page (https://www.corel.com/en/eula/), one can (quoting) "install the Software on no more than one desktop or laptop computer".
Search that page for the:
LICENSE METRICS
words, only please be careful to read the License Metrics specified to be applicable to CorelDRAW, not to other products!
That's because the indicated page contains more than one license. The first one, category A, covers CorelDRAW.
One can find on that page other more permissive License Metrics (including the "up to 3 machines" one you said about), but they are valid only for other products (e.g Roxio, WinZip etc.).
For CorelDRAW, the relevant license agreement text fragment says:
Software Installations. Subject to the conditions specified herein and as set out in the License Certificate, a license grants You during the License Term, the right to:
Software Installations are available under Perpetual Licenses and Subscription Licenses.
I followed your link to the EULA.
I think that the "license metrics" you quoted in your post are for MindManager.
This is what I see for CorelDRAW Graphics Suite, where they refer to "two computing devices":
LICENSING METRICS FOR CORELDRAW GRAPHICS SUITE, CORELDRAW ESSENTIALS, CORELDRAW STANDARD, CORELDRAW TECHNICAL SUITE, AFTERSHOT, CORELCAD, PARTICLESHOP, PAINTER PRO, PAINTER ESSENTIALS, PAINTER, PAINTSHOP PRO, AND WORDPERFECT OFFICESubject to the restrictions set out under this EULA, a Subscription or Perpetual License for the above-mentioned Software allows You to download, install and/or use one original copy of the Software on up to two computing devices or electronic equipment ("Devices") which are under Your control and in Your possession.You may not re-install the Software on a third Device unless: (a) an original Device fails and (b) the Software is completely deleted from an original Device. If authorization codes are required, You may need to contact Our customer service and request approval to re-install the Software on a new Device, and prove to Us that You deinstalled the Software from the failed original Device. Notwithstanding Your right to download and install the Software on two Devices, You may only use the Software on one Device at a time. You are also not eligible to download, install and/or use any applicable Software on a second Device if You: (a) are a resident of Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Hong Kong, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, or Vietnam, or (b) have obtained a license to use a on a not-for-resale version of the Software.
Thank you for noticing that and correcting my message, Eskimo!I've edited my message emphasizing that it's not accurate, so people should skip it.
I'll add later a more carefully written response, after re-reading more closely the EULA document.
Thanks again!
PS: Too bad that Corel keeps this monolithic and convoluted EULA document. It's almost like that they would want the users to get confused and/or to break the LA by mistake (wrong interpretation).
Normally, there should be just:
This way it's confusing and unnecessary complicated.
Their licensing framework seems to be left behind of what other commercial software companies practice in the last years -- no floating licenses, no internal licensing server that could be deployed in an environment without access to internet (to the Corel managed servers infrastructure) etc., like other software providers do (e.g. JetBrains & al).
For instance, it is not clear what kind of license should one acquire if the need/intention is:
What kind of license should be acquired to allow the software (CorelDRAW) to be installed on a Windows Server machine, while the users would have to open a Remote Desktop Connection on the server to be able to use it?(The allowed users might even be made members of a "CorelDRAW users" group, while the main executable -- e.g. CorelDrw.exe -- could be made executable only for the members of this group.)
