Hello
I have a desktop computer, a notebook and a surface. Can I intsll CorelDraw 2017 on all three pc's?
May be depending on which country you're in but I would say yes, you are normally allowed to install on three computers but only use one copy at a time.
From the EULA: ...MAY DOWNLOAD AND INSTALL ANY OF THESE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS ON UP TO THREE (3) SYSTEMS IN A SINGLE ADDRESS; HOWEVER, IT CAN ONLY BE USED BY YOU ON ONE (1) SYSTEM AT A TIME...
This is history now From CorelDraw 2018 EULA: "Unless otherwise provided for in this EULA and unless you have a written agreement with Corel providing for additional Use, the below agreement gives you permission to install and Use one (1) copy of this Software on one (1) computer or electronic device at any given time as set out in more detail below."
So if you want 1 Corel on studio PC and one on laptop for the visiting your customers, BUY TWO LICENSES.
Pity...
Had I known this I probably wouldn't have renewed. I guess this is one of the issues with auto-renew. I need the software on my laptop, and also the computer in my sewing room. :-( I can't afford to pay $400 annually for one piece of software.
Read Gerard Metrailler's answer in this thread:

You have 30 day guarantee. Ask for refund.
I read his answer but if you ask Corel they say it is not possible and many of the people who have tried says they can only get one computer to work.
I'm so aggravated. I finally this email response after my question was "elevated to tier 2":__________________________________________________________________________________

Thank you for reaching out to us. My name is Sneha and your Case has been escalated to me. I am happy to look into your request now and provide assistance. I have now cleared out the older installations on your account and you should be able to reinstall again as required. Please feel free to reach out to us in case of any concerns. Regards, Sneha_________________________________________________________________________________So this is good, I think. Maybe I'm ready to install and move forward. Nope. Now all I get is "unknown error" when I try to install on my laptop. I've tried cleaning up the registry, but it didn't help. I now have an icon on my desktop for continuing the CorelDraw installation, but all it does is give me the "unknown error' message and shut down again.
I contacted support via chat again and the guy told me that I can NOT have the software on two computers. I shared with him a copy of the email and my ticket number. Boom. Chat support agent disappears. This is absolutely unacceptable. When everyone else is running Microsoft Office I'm like an old dinosaur still running WordPerfect. Everyone else is running Illustrator or Photoshop but I'm still hanging onto CorelDraw. I've always believed that Corel offered superior products for what I do. Now I'm questioning if there is any reason for me to continue to hang on. Customer support is pretty darn important in the software world, and I'm getting ZERO.
