Corel Validation codes?

[ffutures]

I installed Corel Graphics Suite 12 on the new PC tonight, but ran into a problem - Corel will no longer issue a validation code for installing it, or answer technical support queries such as "How the frack do I reinstall this software I paid for, which you bastards were happy to sell me?" So it looks like I have a few days to use it, then it will stop working.

This means, I suspect, that I will stop using Corel, since I really can't afford any recent version - unless someone knows a way to extract the validation code from the current PC? I've been going around in circles trying to figure this out for the last couple of hours.

Any suggestions? Or anyone got an email address for Corel technical support that will work?

Tomorrow I'll probably be trying to install Adobe Acrobat. Wish me luck...

Weird... the version of Corel Draw (the suite) I have is version 7 and it has a registration key on the CD jewel case. Is v12 secured in a different manner?

I don't know if you know about Corel's forums, but http://coreldraw.com/forums/22.aspx is a user support forum for Corel v12. They may be able to help you out.

I think it may not be a problem any more.

Serial plus a validation code once you register.
