CorelDRAW 2022 (version 24.0) had a particularly aggressive Beta cycle. Many users downloaded the Beta to test new features like "Adjustment Layers" and "Export Concurrency." When the official 2022 release launched, the Beta was supposed to uninstall itself, but due to Windows permission issues, it often left traces behind.
Thus, even if you bought CorelDRAW Graphics Suite 2022, the expired Beta trigger might still fire before the licensed version boots.
Q: I never installed a Beta. Why am I seeing this error? A: Some unofficial installers (torrents) are repackaged Beta builds with the expiry date hardcoded. You need a genuine, full retail installer from Corel’s website. After this, re-enter your legit CorelDRAW 2022 serial number
Q: Will I lose my work?
A: No. Your .cdr files are safe. The error only blocks launching the software. After fixing it, you can open all your projects.
Q: Is there a "Hotfix" patch from Corel? A: Yes, Corel released Hotfix 2 for CorelDRAW 2022 (revision 24.5.0.731) that includes a script to ignore expired Beta triggers. Update to that version via Help > Check for Updates.
