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!!!!!
I had to drop Designer because at the time the version of Draw that ships with it could not exist on the same system as the stand alone Draw and the stand alone is always newer and different. I wonder if Core was smart enough to fix that?
Thanks for the response David. I wish that that Corel could understand that to be professional it is necessary to have the latest versions of the software in the Suite when each new software release is made available. If that isn't possible offer CorelDesigner as a stand alone software.
So No...Corel isn't smart enough to fix it!
Lets be kind and remember that there are real people behind "Corel". They are some of the smartest people I know. They like us are limited by time and resources.I am thankful for them everyday as they help provide a way that I can feed and care for my family.
Thanks Shelby,
I agree but I'm frustrated. I don't want to have to purchase Coreldraw graphics suite as well as Corel Technical suite just to use Designer. Seems ridiculous to me.
