CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X8 1st time issue

I was able to download and install X8 after disabling the antivirus software on my Windows 7 PC.  When I try to launch the software from the shortcut for the first time it wants me to sign in to my account for access to important online services and content.  Well I put in my username and password and hit continue, but I'm getting back an error: "Error: An unexpected error occurred on the server.  Please check your internet connection and try again later.  As you can see, my internet is working fine.  I'm also able to log into corel.com with the same username and password.  Can anyone help me solve this issue?
