I have been offered this product through a 3rd party web site but can't seem to find any information about it.
CorelDRAW Esssential Edition 3 (that's the real name) and CorelDRAW Essentials 4 (the latest version) are products based on CorelDRAW Graphics Suite (X3 and X4 respectively), but with a subset of the features. These Essentials products cannot be (legally) purchased without being bundled / installed with hardware, e.g. it is the main version Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM) can include with their offering. The only place in the world you can legally buy CorelDRAW Essentials on its own is in Japan.

Hello, I can see that the last entry is some years old, so I do not know if you still answer these questions.
I have read the conversation regarding Essentials, and have a question regarding, CorelDRAW Essentials 2. Was this one then also bundled?
I am asking as I can see many page with a box for sale.

Hanne,
All though Amazone sell legal products, some on amazon might sadly at times sell illegal or to good to be true priced products. Look for who the seller is. Ask Corel customer service maybe prior to a purchace.
