Buying older SW - Corel Designer Technical Suite
« on: July 07, 2020, 07:09:52 pm »
Hello. does anyone know a source that would still sell a FULL LEGAL version of this software?
Sought is Corel Designer Technical Suite X5 or X6, with license and media. No copy, crack, download and no Edu-version.

And please - do not waste my time with any lectures about why the newest version is better or what I should do instead - I have very good reason to do it this way.

I guess nobody will help with the "arrogance"  behind

There is no arrogance, but a pre-established need to proceed exactly as described. I.e. to get a SW that allows to reach back to Drawings made with micrografx designer while having no time for retraining. Must run under W7.

All I can think of:

  • 2nd hand market, eg eBay.  Sadly looks mostly like Personal/Edu copies
  • Emailing Corel directly

I also really don't see any arrogance, just a clear explanation?  :-//


Finding older licenses can actually be very useful, most of the time only minor things are being updated.
For the same reason I worked with PADS (for PCB design) and CoCreate 8 (3D CAD) at a certain company.
There was just no need to upgrade it and waste money for new licenses.

Best place would be either Ebay, sometimes Amazon but in general you just have to be lucky.
E-mailing companies directly for licenses won't really work in my experience.
They will always try to let you buy a new licenses, sometimes with a discount.
