Have you ever been scammed with pirated software on ebay?

He saw nothing wrong with this. And no, it was not me.

They find the one thats been used for hundreds of installs and remove it from their activation server.

Then disconnect from the network when installing the software?

If it even has the feature, it has to phone home eventually or its going to shut down. What would be the point if it was that easily defeated? Not sure about Corel stuff.

Yeah CorelDraw 4 is from the early nineties. Back then people didn't generally have internet. So indeed it's not likely that it will atually check the key.
Or are we talking about X4? I threw my CorelDRAW 4 away.
Maybe the key was simply typed in wrong? Sometimes it's difficult distinguishing a 0 from an O or 1 from an l or g from a q and such.

Yea, correction... it's CorelDraw X4.
I'm going to try and disconnect from the network when I install, hopefully it works. Thanks for the help fellas. :burgerking:

I agree. "Obtaining" is good.
As long as a virus isn't embedded in it.
