If the required version of Microsoft .NET Framework is not available on your computer, it will be installed during product installation.
Prepare for installation
• Make sure that your system’s date and time are set correctly.
• Make sure that your system has the latest updates installed.
• Close all applications, including all virus detection programs and applications that are open in the system tray or on the Windows
taskbar. Not doing so may increase the installation time and interfere with the installation.
• Log in as a user with administrative privileges.
• Make sure that you have enough free disk space available on the drive where you want to install the application.
• Delete the contents of the system’s TEMP folders to avoid file and memory conflicts. To navigate to the Temp folders, type %temp% in
the Search box on the Windows 7 SP1 or Windows 10 Start menu, or the Windows 8 desktop.
• Make sure that your system is connected to the Internet.
• Install CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite in its own directory to avoid conflicts with previous versions.
Install CorelDRAW Graphics Suite applications
The installation wizard makes it easy to install CorelDRAW Graphics Suite applications and components. You can choose a typical installation
to quickly install the suite, or you can customize the installation by choosing different options.
To install CorelDRAW Graphics Suite applications
1Close all applications, including all virus detection programs.
For smooth installation, we recommend that you restart Windows. This action will ensure that no restart is required by the latest system
updates, and there are no memory issues.
2Do one of the following:
• Download the product from the link provided on your order confirmation.
• Insert the DVD in the DVD drive.
3In the installation wizard, review the End User License Agreement and the Terms of Service by clicking the corresponding links.
4Enable the I agree to the End User License Agreement check box, and click Accept.
5Type your name in the Full name text box.
6Type your serial number in the Serial number text box.
The serial number is not case-sensitive, and the dashes are optional.
7Click Next.
8Follow the instructions for installing the software.
Installation options
You can choose between the following types of installations:
•Typicalinstallation — automatically installs the main programs and utilities of the suite to a default location in the Program Files folder.
If later you need a component that is not installed, you can modify your installation.
•Custominstallation — lets you choose additional features, exclude components that you don’t need, and specify where to install the
suite.
•Deployment — available only for multiseat purchases. This option lets you create a server image for installing the software to individual
workstations. For more information, see the CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2019 Deployment Guide.
