Hello,
Some of you may have already purchased the Corel 11 upgrade and might know the answer. Their web site lists Windows/Mac together on the product and an ad in Tiger Direct seems to imply Bitstream Font Navigator is included for Windows and Font Reserve is included for Macs. In fact, both platform logos are on the box in the photo, too.

So, if you buy the upgrade, will it upgrade both a licensed previous user of the Mac version AND a licensed previous user of the PC system?

Please post the info here if you know for sure one way or the other.

Thanks in advance,
Mike Jackson

From reading the contents on the side of the box, it would appear Corel would handle both platforms.
Instead of Font Navigator it provides Font Reserve for Mac. The 10,000 clipart collection is mostly new stuff..the reference is finally put in a lay flat ring bound book. I was having some glitches in Corel 10...upgrading to 11 seems to have cleared them up. Photo-Paint now has a Cut-out tool to quickly mask complex objects..not a lot of new features, but from what I read they have focused on stabilizing the program.

Hi again,
Well, my Corel Upgrade box came in. I just tried installing the Mac version, but it has a minimum of System 10.1. I guess it won't install on my System 8 machine. [Frown]

I don't think I want to go through all that hassle to get it updated on the Mac.

Hopefully the Windows version will go on smoothly.

Good luck with it Mike. I'd love to hear what you think about it. I'm currently running ver.9 and knock on wood, have had no problems with it. Ver.11 would have to have some pretty good enhancements to justify yet another Corel upgrade cost of $200. being that I started with Ver.1

Hi Bob,
I started with version 1.0 also and stayed with it until about version 3. I'm not a big CorelDraw user now, but I thought upgrading two programs for the price of one would be worth it. I have verson 6 on the Mac, though I don't recall ever using it. I probably won't be using 11 on the Mac either, knowing it requires one of the higher system revisions. I was still on version 9 on the PC, and I sometimes need the newer file converters for customer supplied files.

The upgrade was $225, but it included a Wacom USB tablet, stylus, and mouse ($99 value), so I went ahead and paid the upgrade fee. I haven't hooked up the little tablet yet, but it looks cute. I already have a 12 x 12 tablet that I use for on screen digitizing.

I won't be of much help giving a review of the program this time! Others use it much more than me.

Take care,
Mike Jackson

Question about the hybrid nature of the distribution CD since I haven’t received my upgrade as of yet. How does the license agreement “legally” address usability on two platforms with “one” licensee? And this is asked with sincerity and not for a ball busting session.

Can you legally install it on two platforms at once? Can it be used on both platforms simultaneously, or is it treated like a book, one or the other but not at the same time. Or is none of the above and only allowed on one machine and platform period. Or something completely different?

I’ve been “toying” with getting a Mac machine due to “business” reasons for a little while now and have looked into other software manufactures licensing regarding this issue, but not Corels.

Thanks in advance to anybody that looks into it and provides some insight.

Hi Bob,
I can't install it on my Mac because of the system requirements, so I didn't get to cross that bridge. So far, I haven't installed it on the PC, but the license agreement must be part of the installation process. I looked through the pile of papers and in the user's guide for the license and didn't see it.

Since I had previously licensed versions on both platforms, I really never thought much about it, but there are probably restrictions. Maybe someone else will have found the licencse agreements. I'd be interested, too.

Thanks for the reply Mike!

quote:

but the license agreement must be part of the installation process. I looked through the pile of papers and in the user's guide for the license and didn't see it.

Appears this is becoming the standard operating procedures (sop) now a days. It was bad enough when it was under “shrink wrap”, but now that it has moved to “click wrap” makes it that much more “user unfriendly”. I realize most people never read a EULA, let alone understand it, and that statement is aimed not only at the consumer level, but the manufacture as well.

Case in point; ever call a company to return software because you didn’t agree with the EULA? First issue that arises is the fact that the media has been “opened”. Then a few transfers to get someone that even knows what a “license” is, then a few more to get someone that has some intellect to discuss the issue. Somewhere in the conversation it is usually stated that “that is not our intent” which I promptly follow up with “…but your giving yourselves the legal right to, intended or not…”. Could save both parties time and money if they made the EULA available at the POS or before. But then again, more and more EULA’s are no longer “static” after the “purchase” anyway.

On a positive note, it does appear the tide is finally turning for solid and stable code. I am under the impression that a higher percentage of end users still want “new features” over “stability”, but those numbers are narrowing day by day. Perhaps it took a little bit of “tight money” situations in the last few years for people to see the value in "stability" over "bells and whistles". The remarks about CD 11 on the other post are just one of many being echoed throughout the entire industry. I say, its about time!

Well, here I ago again. Sometimes my head just doesn’t feel right unless I’m …  - …, so with that in mind….

For the few that have followed this thread and the even fewer that give a crap about ELUA and the law, here are some selected excerpts from the ELUA that YOU HAVE AGREED TO BEFORE CorelDraw 11 was installed on your machine. If anybody has trouble falling asleep at night and desires to read the entire license, you can find a copy on the CD. It’s located in the root directory and titled license.txt.

And for the never ending “clipart” debate; I think the document makes it clear on Corel’s desire with THEIR OWN or THEIR LICENSED clipart, fonts, etc.

Happy reading!!  -

Linda,

I think Microsoft has the copyright on "Ha ha ha" since that is what Mr. Gates utters everytime we have to fork out more dollars for an upgrade to make Windows work like advertised.
