For a comprehensive list of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite system requirements, visit coreldraw.com.
Windows 10 Arm-based devices are not supported because you cannot install and run Windows x64 apps in that environment.

If you do a search for " Launcher cannot connect to corel draw" on Google, you can see a lot of people have this problem, but no one really gives a solid answer on how to fix it. Questions in Corel Draw forum. Have you tried a system restore to before this happened? Maybe a Windows 10 update caused the problem.

Ok, So have you tried it in compatibility mode Windows 7? On your Windows 10 computer? By the way, Seeing as how you have a Graphtec CE6000, didn't you get the Graphtec Pro Studio with it? Much better software. It's like Flexisignpro. It's over a $1000 software.

windows 10 is the bane of my existence. i had to buy a new laptop to run my laser machine - too bad the only ones out there are now win10. i bought my coreldraw 2018 and life was good until there was a forced win10 update. then is basically semi-broke whatever good thing i had with the laptop and software. it would take upwards of 5-minutes just to send something to print. not because it was a difficult design or a large file, it just semi-broke. whatever that update was, it must have had some firmware update too, because i scrubbed and reinstalled windows, then reinstalled coreldraw, and the problem still lingered.

*for the record i tried to disable any and all auto update settings that win10 has in place when i initially fired up the laptop, no bueno. win10 still proceeded to update and break what was once working flawlessly. now every time i walk past the laptop, i do so giving it the "stink eye," if for no other reason - that it makes me feel a little better.

I have CorelDraw 2019 and I was doing fine until two days ago. Now it says It can't connect to CorelDraw. I've uninstalled the Silhouette Connect Software and installed it again. It worked for one time only. Now I get the same message again.

I was using OSX lion version and working with corel draw 11 and upgraded into mountain lion and my corel draw 11 error : " You Can't open the application " coreldraw 11 because power pc applications are no longer supported.

Snow Leopard, 10.6.x was the last version of OS X to support apps written for PowerPC CPUs. Lion, 10.7.x and later will not run such apps. You'll have to upgrade to a newer version of Corel Draw, revert to a version of OS X which will run the software, or install Snow Leopard on a separate partition you can boot to and run it from there.

But the thing which i have upgraded my OSX lion into Mountain Lion version i.e.10.8.2 version so my corel got stucked its saying " You Can't open the application " coreldraw 11 because power pc applications are no longer supported.

Another possibility is to attempt to install Snow Leopard client into a VM such as Parallels. The VM and a retail copy of Snow Leopard combined would be a bit less, but not at all worth the time and effort to make it work. For the somewhat minor cost difference, just upgrade Corel Draw to a version which will run on your newer Mac as is.

Awwww! You're right. ? I do remember now reading a while back that Corel was abandoning the Mac platform for most of their products. Seems like a pretty dumb thing to do with the Mac platform coming on so strong the past couple of years.

That's Corel, though. They drop software titles like hot potatoes. Wish I could find it again, but there was a post by someone in the Corel forums who listed at least two dozen well known software titles they acquired, did one or two small upgrades on, and then stopped development.

Here's a classic example. They acquired Knockout from Ultimatte and sold it without any real changes. Snapped it up at the time because I'd always wanted to use it, but it was $500 from Ultimatte, and Corel had an initial "get me" price of $99. The version 2 upgrade here was the last time it was developed, all the way back to OS X, 10.3.x, and they have the gall to continue to sell it as a current product. It doesn't even work under Snow Leopard, much less Lion or Mountain Lion.

Macs ran from 1996 through 2006 on a Central Processing Unit (CPU) called the PowerPC. Windows software ran on the Intel CPU platform. Apple made the decision to switch its complete inventory of Macs to Intel in 2006, but did not want to financially penalize its existing base of users who had a substantial financial investment in their existing PowerPC software.

So Apple licensed a third party technology, which they called Rosetta and installed it in OS X (at that time Tiger, then Leopard, then optionally Snow Leopard), which transparently and almost magically emulated the PowerPC CPU instructions on the Intel CPU. Rosetta worked so well that most Mac users had no idea what it was, or what it was doing for many years after 2006.

The problem is that Apple's license to continue to develop, install and use Rosetta for OS X expired with the release of Lion and now Mountain Lion. Hence, older PowerPC applications will no longer run natively on Lion or Mountain Lion.

The best solution, if it is available, is an upgrade for your PowerPC software that has been rewritten to work on the Intel CPU. If this upgrade is available, there is generally a financial cost to purchase it and many such upgrades are very costly, especially cumulatively. Presumably, Corel was never rewritten to work on the Intel CPU.

One solution is to run Windows on your Mac (either in what is called Bootcamp, or in virtualization through the use of a third party program offered by Parallels or VMWare Fusion). Is there a Windows version of Corel that you would be happy and satisfied to run? You would have to purchase Windows and presumably the Windows version of Corel as well.

Another solution is to run Mac OS X Snow Leopard in virtualization on your Mac. This is the version of OS X that just preceeded Lion and Mountain Lion and is the last one that can have Rosetta installed into it.

Parallels and VMWare Fusion only support the installation of a version of Snow Leopard called Snow Leopard Server. While it is easy to install and is supported, it originally sold by Apple for $499+. While Apple no longer sells it, it is available on eBay and I have seen it selling recently for $51 - $99+. Parallels and VMWare Fusion each sell for about $79 retail and shopping on the internet can yield some discounts. You only need one or the other, not the both of Parallels or VMWare.

There is also a free virtualization program offered by Oracle, called VirtualBox. I have no experience with this program and I do not know if Snow Leopard or its Server version can be installed on it.

A more complicated approach is the installation of the normal Snow Leopard into Parallels. Apple still sells Snow Leopard for $19.99, but you would have to follow the installation instructions I have offered online. This may be too challenging for you to undertake, but the instructions are located here:
