Please select one of the following options:


Scenario 1 - I have purchased the download version but do not have the trial version installed

Scenario 2 - I have the trial version installed and just purchased the download from the Corel Store.

 

Scenario 1

If you have not already done so, locate the download link on your Corel store receipt and click the Begin your download.When prompted, select to save the file.When saving the file, select a location you are familiar with to make it easy to locate the file after it finishes downloading.

  1. When the download is finished, locate the file that was downloaded and the double-click to begin the file extraction process.It is recommended that you accept the defaults.
  2. When the file extraction completes, the installation process will begin automatically.
  3. When prompted, enter the serial number provided on your Corel Store receipt.Follow all prompts to install the product.Unless you are an advanced user, it is recommended to accept the default installation location for the software.
  4. When the installation process is complete, click the Finish button.You can now use your fully functional software product.
