CorelDRAW 2026 & Smart Designer – What You Need to Know Before Upgrading

CorelDRAW 2026 is here, and we’re excited about the new update!  However, before upgrading, there’s an important change in Corel’s license agreement that you should be aware of.

Changes to the Corel End User Licensing Agreement

With CorelDRAW 2026, Corel has updated its end user licensing agreement. 

• Corel End User License Agreement: https://www.corel.com/en/eula/ 
• Changes to the agreement may impact your access to older CorelDRAW versions after you install CorelDRAW 2026. 
• Here is a link to the CorelDRAW end-user license agreement, the new policy is outlined in section: PRODUCT UPGRADES, UPDATES & PATCHES 

This means that if any of your settings, drivers, or third-party add-ons (including Smart Designer) aren’t fully compatible with CorelDRAW 26 yet, you could experience workflow disruptions.

Our Recommendation

Smart Designer is compatible with CorelDRAW 2026 , but we strongly recommend:

• Waiting to upgrade until you verify that all essential tools, drivers, and add-ons work smoothly with CorelDRAW 2026.
• Checking with your team to ensure that upgrading won’t disrupt any ongoing projects.
