I purchased corel technical suite instead of coreldraw graphic suite to be able to use corel designer. (It isn't sold separately)
I purchased the upgrade package and was told that it has the same software as Coreldraw Graphics Suite so it would be my only option if I wanted CorelDesigner and an update would be available for all software when made available. This is true BUT the issue is that when CorelDraw 2021 came out over 6 months ago Corel Technical Suite doesn't allow you to upgrade Draw, Paint, Font Manger etc. even though the new versions are all available 6 months ago if I had purchased Coreldraw Graphics Suite.
I paid almost $650 for the upgrade program. Now I wait...........
In theory Coreldraw Graphics Suite 2022 could be released before Coreldraw Technical Suite is currently updated!!!
This would mean that I would still be using Corel software such as Corel Draw that is two versions behind.
Why won't Technical Suite release updates to Draw, Photo Paint etc. as they are released?
Still Waiting!!!!!
If we look at the most recent releases, CorelDRAW had been released in March and the Technical Suite follows in June. Of course this isn't a normal year so it it understandable that things might be delayed. I am sure they are working on it and you will see it soon.
If it makes you feel better, I got on the waiting list for a 3080 Graphics card in Oct of 2020, yep still waiting....so it could be worse.
Thanks Shelby
I just don't understand why they don't let us update the software inside the suite when it becomes available.
I'm perfectly fine using the current Designer software but It annoys me that I can't open or edit files from others using the current Corel Draw 2021 software.
I hear ya on the graphics card. Got a buddy with a pool liner that was supposed to be replaced in April. He just got it replaced and pool season here is almost over.
