System requirements
The following list includes the minimum system requirements. Note that for optimum performance, you need more RAM and hard disk
space than indicated in the list.

• Intel Core i3/5/7 or AMD Athlon 64
• 2 GB RAM

Electronic software downloads require more space to allow for the download, the uncompressed setup files, and the actual installation,
which includes copies of the source files as well.
• Mouse, tablet, or multi-touch screen
• Display resolution
• 1280 x 720 screen resolution at 100% (96 dpi)
• 1920 x 1080 at 150%

• DVD drive (required for installing the box version of the software)

If the Microsoft .NET Framework is not available on your computer, it will be installed during product installation.
Preparing 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 8.1 desktop.
• Install CorelDRAW® Graphics Suite in its own directory to avoid conflicts with previous versions.
Installing 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
1 Close 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.
2 Do one of the following:
• Insert the DVD in the DVD drive.
If the installation wizard does not start automatically, browse to the root of the DVD, you must locate setup.exe on the DVD, and
double-click the file. Be sure to navigate to the folder that corresponds to the version of your operating system: x64 for 64-Bit or x86 for
32-Bit.
• Download the product.
3 In the installation wizard, review the End User License Agreement and the Terms of Service by clicking the corresponding links.
4 Enable the I agree to the End User License Agreement and the Terms of Service check box, and click Accept.
5 Type your name in the Full name text box.
6 Type your serial number in the Serial number text box.
The serial number is not case-sensitive, and the dashes are optional.
7 Click Next.
8 Follow 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 2017 Deployment Guide.
