Before creating a server image
You must have a corel.com account before running the administrative installation. If you don’t have a corel.com account, go to coreldraw.com, and click Sign in (upper-right of page). On the sign-in page, click Create account, and follow the steps.
When creating a corel.com account, validate the email that is sent to the email address you used to create the account to avoid service disruption.
The account credentials (email address and password) used when first signing in to create a server image are the only account credentials that will be recognized for future sign-ins. Make note of the first credentials used.
It is recommended that you use an IT department email address as Corel.com account name.
Customers will receive a Proof of Entitlement Certificate email. It serves as proof of purchase and provides direct access to the software download and serial numbers for perpetual licenses. It also contains instructions for importing subscription licenses into the Corel.com customer account.
In some corporate environments, users must use the software in offline mode, without access to product features that require Internet connection and product authentication. Internet features include:
To restrict access to Internet features and product updates, you need a special serial number to create the server image. This setup will deploy the software to the workstations in offline mode. For more information, see Deployment with Internet features off. When access to Internet features is restricted, you can still allow users to save files in the Corel Cloud. For more information, see ALLOW_CORPORATECLOUDFEATURES.
In online mode, workstation users have access to all Internet features as well as product updates.
Saving files in the Corel Cloud
To access collaboration features such as the Comments docker and save files to the cloud, users must sign in to Corel Cloud.
The first time users access Corel Cloud from CorelDRAW, they are prompted to sign in to Corel Cloud with the email and password associated with your Corel account. This is the default sign-in option in CorelDRAW.
Sign-in to Corel Cloud through SSO
With this sign-in option, users can sign in to Corel Cloud by using their corporate Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace accounts. Note the following requirements:
Signing in with a Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace user account uses Single Sign-on (SSO).
You can enable this sign-in option for users by using a public property. For more information, see CDAENTERPRISEACCESS.
