Can the educational serial be used on the trial download?

My daughters laptop does not have a disk drive.  Can she download the trial versions and use the educational serial?  Or do I have to buy her a portable bluray player drive?

  • I'm not sure about the trial version compatibility, only Corel can answer that. But you can probably copy the entire DVD to a USB memory stick or hard drive, find the setup program and run it from there.

    • Good thought Harry.  As long as the install does not need to reference the DVD for some copy protection.  Soon as the disks come I will post results for others since no drives are becoming more prevalent.

       

    • Hello Robert; You do need some type of storage to store the program on, and have enough memory to run the program. I don't know for sure but you may get a nasty gram from Corel it you run them both at the same time.

      • George?  What do you mean run both at the same time?

        As per Harries advice I am going to try to copy the disk to a usb to install.  Another thought might be to compress the entire disk to a single file and mount it for installation.  This may all be for nothing since it looks like Corel does not support touch very well with CD X7.
