It's either that start paying a revolving fee: $99 per year just to have the opportunity to buy an upgrade or $16.50 per month (billed $198 annually) for the subscription version.

In effect, the user is signing up for a subscription plan even though he has perpetual license software.Īnyone who wants to continue skipping product versions due to minimal improvements will have to pay the full version price (currently $499) when finally upgrading to a new perpetual license version. To me it smells like they want a $99 revolving fee from users to let them have the opportunity to buy a new version of CorelDRAW (probably for at least another $99 on top of the $99 you're already paying) when the new version is released. I don't understand what that 'protection' provides or the specific dollar amount 'fraction of the cost' implies. This 'upgrade protection' option costs $99 per year. To purchase Upgrade Protection, simply add it in-cart when you buy CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2019.' Add Upgrade Protection to your purchase to get future versions at a fraction of the cost or choose a subscription, to always stay current. If you visit Corel's web site and check out the product page for CorelDRAW 2019 you'll see a little tab for 'purchase options.' On that sub-page it contains the verbiage, 'Later this year, upgrades (download and box products) will no longer be available. Those days are apparently coming to an end 'later this year.'

Most recently I went from version X6 to X8 and then X8 to CDR 2018.

I've skipped several product cycle versions over the years. Previously a CorelDRAW user could stick with the existing version he had, wait out a couple version cycles until the improvements added up into enough of an upgrade worth purchasing, and do so for a standard upgrade price. One thing that isn't confusing: it's pretty clear they want all users shifted over to paying at least $198 per year to use the software as a service.

I say it's 'looking like' because some of the statements on the Corel web site and purchase options are a little confusing. Well, contrary to past publicity statements from the folks at Corel, it's looking like the company is attempting to strong-arm users into a subscription-only model.
