Security holes can be discovered in old software. The same thing can happen when buying a new computer. If you're running CorelDRAW on a modern version of Windows there is always the chance some new "upgrade" Microsoft forces on users could break an old copy of CorelDRAW. While it's much cheaper to stick with the software you have there are obvious hazards to doing so. Even signing up on their "upgrade protection" program is expensive: $199 for the version upgrade + $99 for the "upgrade protection." Next time you want to buy a newer version of CorelDRAW you'll either have to buy a new full version license ($499) or get on their subscription program ($198 per year). But the penalty is if you don't join their upgrade program before their deadline expires (whatever date that may be) then your license becomes one that can no longer be upgraded.
If you don't want to buy any upgrades you can keep on using the existing copy of CorelDRAW you own from here on out.
Corel has been fairly clear and up front about that. Corel will not disable any existing perpetual license of CorelDRAW if the user doesn't join the program to pay for forced upgrades every year.
