Activation instructions - CorelDRAW

To activate, take these steps:

Before you start

• Have your CorelDRAW serial number ready. It’s in the email we sent you.
• Check which version you bought (for example 2024 or 2026) and whether it’s for Windows, Mac or both. You’ll need the installer for that exact version.
• Make sure you have a stable internet connection for the download and activation.
  
  

Step 1: Download the installer

Use the download link in your email. You can also get it from Corel’s official download page: coreldraw.com/en/pages/download. Choose the same version and operating system as your licence.

Step 2: Install CorelDRAW

1. Run the installer and follow the prompts.
2. When asked, enter your serial number.
   
   

Step 3: Sign in to your Corel account

1. When prompted, sign in to your Corel account, or create one.
2. Make a note of the email address you use here. Your licence is linked to this account, and you’ll need the same account to reinstall CorelDRAW in future.
   
   

Check that it worked

Open CorelDRAW. It should open as the full version, with no trial countdown.

Having trouble?

• The serial number isn’t accepted: make sure the installer is the same version as your licence. A 2024 serial number needs the 2024 installer, for example.
• Still having trouble? Email us at support@digitalloot.co.za with your order number and a screenshot of any error message, and we’ll help you get it working. If we confirm the serial number is faulty, we’ll replace it, or refund you if we can’t.
