Our company has a site licence for Corel Draw. On evers start of Corel Draw I get this window:
We want to skip this completely and forever to fulfill the german laws according privacy. How can this be done?
In what world does that sound logical?? Corel is taking lessons from the Microsoft playbook and going for complete control of the user. I used to be pro-Corel all the way, but they're joining the opposition with this mandatory sign in. There's a reason I bought a stand-alone package instead of yielding to the subscription pressures of Adobe, Microsoft and Corel. Maybe I'll reload my earlier packages.
Me, too--Corel became unusable. Instead, I turned off my wireless internet connection, got into the program just fine, and turned my internet back on.

Yes, of course. Microsoft writes the rules.
There is no logic in the choice to allow others uncontrolled access to our personal information in 99% of the cases. Intentionally and knowingly doing so (aka Facebook, iWorld, G+, and information stealing apps like CorelDraw, Facebook, Flikr, 99% of apps on iPhone,...) is only foolish laziness which does adversely affect millions of people a year. Yes, those millions are few in quantity compared to the populace. But, if you were one of that million; I think you'd care.
As for the subject of Corel taking from M$oft playbook... There are many reasons I was reticent to even try CorelDraw. The first and foremost is that it s mostly (solely?) functional on Windows. Since I prefer an operating system rather than a poor Xwindows substitute, Windows had to be installed on one of my systems for the first time in almost 10 years. I mean, why does that XWindows substitute behave soo poorly and cause so much trouble as well as having even MORE privacy intrusion forced upon the ignorant users (like Cortana, Maps, Edge, and their other substandard bloatware apps).
