Working with trial versions

You can download free trial versions of Corel graphics applications from the Corel Web site. Trial versions let you use all the application features and tools for free, for a limited time. After the trial period expires, you can access only limited functionality. For example, you can open and view files, but you cannot save or export them. If you want to purchase the application, you can buy a purchase key online that supplies you with a serial number. You do not need to download another copy of the application.

To purchase the full version

1

In the trial message window, click Buy now.

If the trial version has not expired, the trial message window appears when you quit the application. If the trial version has expired, the window appears when you start the application.

2

In the Corel store window, choose an option, and follow the directions.

You can choose to buy a purchase key, or you can choose to buy a boxed version of the application.
