Corel draw, which one?

As far as I'm aware, X4 Home & Student only has following differences to main version:

1) You have to be a student.
2) You may NOT use it for commercial work.
3) No printed manuals or support is included.
4 )Less Clipart bundled.

I have the current full version. Search the internet for unboxed versions. These are genuine versions but as it says unboxed. Mine was half price. All registered with Corel. You may have to search, and wait, it took me 3 weeks to find the full version. Hope that helps.

I have X4 the full version, the student version as far as i am aware, you have to have a "student in the house studying" guess it can be studying anything, you are limited to 3 installations - do not try and install more times, so you need to always keep one as a backup. I cannot see how corel would know you were using the items you had made on their student version into items you were selling - unless big brother has really got big.

I have the full version but I always thought the Student versions were the full version. You just have to be a student to purchase it (i.e. not using it for commercial use). I know that Adobe offers student versions and always presumed this was the case.

What i have found out so far for anyone else that might want to know is that the home & student version

x5 and x6 does not have the VBA included (which is what i need to use plugins) but lower ones do
you do not have to be a student for home and student its for home as well (according to mr pc world man)
You cant use it for business ie graphic artist.

I use X3 and it is the full package. Like has been said above keep a look out and you'll find one at a 'good' price with full licence capability.

I've used X3 for several years. It works just fine with the Craft Robo cutter.

The Student version do not usually have VBA and its the vba that allows the plotting utility macros to work so you may not be able to cut directly from Draw. I'm not sure if you can export as eps or ai from the student versions so you need to check that. If you can, you would be able to import that in some of the utilities.
