What is on cncu.co.za for CorelDRAW (re-checked 2026-10-19)
The public CorelDRAW folder at https://cncu.co.za/Other-Softwares/CorelDRAW/ has three year folders: CorelDRAW 2019, CorelDRAW 2021 and CorelDRAW 2024. Every product comes two ways: a Complete Package (one large ZIP, plus the same files unpacked in a browsable folder) and a small Download and Installer program that fetches the rest of the install from Corel while it runs. All links below were checked with an HTTP HEAD request on 2026-10-19 and returned 200. Sizes are the server's Content-Length; dates are the server's Last-Modified (UTC).

The Graphics Suite 2024 is the only product with a macOS installer on cncu. Everything else is Windows only.
Note printed on the cncu CorelDRAW 2024 page
The CorelDRAW 2024 folder page says, in its own words, that it is important to have Alludo CorelDRAW installed and licensed so you can get the correct support, and that AM.CO.ZA is not responsible for licensing support; only Corel can offer that. The same page links to four step-by-step guides and to the Essentials activation code on Buythis (S-CORELDRAW/ESS).
Which package to pick
Read from each package's own setup.xml (Corel's installer list, fetched from the unpacked Complete Package folders on 2026-10-19). All six are 64-bit only (64BIT=1) and all allow multi-seat installs.
| Package | Programs it installs | Extras in the installer | Default install folder |
|---|---|---|---|
| Graphics Suite 2019 | CorelDRAW (CorelDRW.exe), PHOTO-PAINT (CorelPP.exe), Font Manager, Capture, Barcode wizard, Print merge wizard (PrintWiz.exe), Corel CONNECT, English writing tools |
.NET Framework 4.7.2 (offline and web installers), VBA 7.1 macros with 11 language packs, VSTA, Ghostscript, English, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and French language packs | CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2019 |
| Essentials 2021 | CorelDRAW Essentials (DrawEssentials.exe), PHOTO-PAINT Essentials (PPEssentials.exe), Barcode wizard, Print merge wizard |
Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, English only. No VBA macros, no Font Manager, no Capture | CorelDRAW Essentials 2021 |
| Essentials 2024 | Same programs as Essentials 2021 | Microsoft Edge WebView2 runtime, English. No VBA macros, no Font Manager, no Capture | CorelDRAW Essentials\25 |
| Standard 2024 | CorelDRAW Standard (DrawStandard.exe), PHOTO-PAINT Standard (PPStandard.exe), Barcode wizard, Print merge wizard, English writing tools |
WebView2 runtime, VSTA. No VBA macros, no Font Manager, no Capture | CorelDRAW Standard 2024 |
| Graphics Suite 2024 | CorelDRAW, PHOTO-PAINT, Font Manager, Capture, Barcode wizard, Print merge wizard, English writing tools | .NET 4.7.2 minimum, VBA 7.1 macros with 11 language packs, VSTA, Ghostscript 10, 3D models pack, Discovery content, workspaces, WebView2, English, Brazilian Portuguese, Spanish and French language packs | CorelDRAW Graphics Suite\25 |
| Technical Suite 2024 | Everything in Graphics Suite plus Corel DESIGNER (Designer.exe), Corel CONNECT, an equation editor and Lattice XVL Studio Corel Edition 10.1 with XVL Player Pro 22.0 (German, English, French and Japanese builds) |
VBA 7.1, VSTA, Ghostscript 10, English, German, French and Japanese language packs | CorelDRAW Technical Suite\25 |
What this means in practice:
- VBA macros are only in some packages. Graphics Suite 2019, Graphics Suite 2024 and Technical Suite 2024 install Corel's VBA 7.1 macro component; the Essentials 2021, Essentials 2024 and Standard 2024 installers do not include it. If a CorelDRAW plugin you plan to use depends on VBA macros, choose one of the Suite packages. The Buythis listing for the Essentials 2021 code says it supports all AM.CO.ZA plugins, so ask AM.CO.ZA support if you are unsure which edition your plugin needs.
- The folder name ending in
\25on the 2024 Essentials, Graphics Suite and Technical Suite packages is Corel's internal version number for the 2024 release (version 25). - Pick the Complete Package ZIP on a modern PC with a good connection; pick the small Download and Installer on an older PC or when you only want the installer first (it downloads the rest during setup). That advice comes from the softwaretraining download guide listed below.
Buythis activation codes (no prices stored here)
The current Buythis product names (dump dated 2026-10-17) are:
- S-CORELDRAW/ESS: CorelDRAW Essentials 2021 AM.CO.ZA Edition activation code. One-time purchase, not the latest version, very limited functions (Buythis suggests S-CORELDRAW/SUITE instead), Windows only, listed as supporting all AM.CO.ZA plugins.
- S-CORELDRAW/SUITE: CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2019 AM.CO.ZA Edition activation code. One-time purchase, not the latest version, Windows only, listed as supporting all AM.CO.ZA plugins.
So a buyer of S-CORELDRAW/SUITE installs the Graphics Suite 2019 package above, and a buyer of S-CORELDRAW/ESS installs Essentials 2021. The 2024 folders are there for customers who already hold a 2024 licence. Related plugins sold alongside: S-CUTTOOL/BLADE, S-CUTTOOL/LABEL and S-ROUTERCAM (RouterCAM needs CorelDRAW X7 or newer on Windows 7 or newer).
Download, install, licence and support in four steps
These steps summarise the four-part softwaretraining.co.za series published 18 to 21 June 2024 (from the softt dump, not crawled):
- Buy the licence. Buy the code on Buythis (search Software for CorelDRAW). You receive an ID, a serial number and a description. AM.CO.ZA distributes the licence but cannot manage it or give licence support. Guide: Where to obtain a CorelDRAW licence key (video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ex7VmTAWESg
- Download the matching package. On cncu.co.za open More, then Other Softwares, then CorelDRAW, choose the year that matches your licence, then the edition. Guide: Where to download CorelDRAW (video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mwHTDQA28sY
- Install. Right-click the ZIP and choose Extract All, open the new folder and run
Setup.exe, allow it to run, type your licence details when asked, choose Typical installation (Custom only if you want another drive), then read and accept the licence agreement at the end. Guide: How to install and license CorelDRAW (video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z4AQhLzDjZU - Get licence support from Corel.
