Important Legal & Ethical Note:
Disabling the sign-in requirement does not replace a valid software license. You still need a legitimate serial number or subscription. The methods below are intended for licensed users who want to skip the mandatory login for convenience (e.g., offline use). Using these to avoid purchasing a license is software piracy and violates Corel’s terms of service.

CorelDRAW 2020 allows you to use it in an offline mode which indirectly helps in avoiding the sign-in process:

If you have a valid subscription:

Corel does not allow permanent sign-in removal for subscription users.

If the application detects an internet connection, it may persistently attempt to force a sign-in. Blocking the application via Windows Firewall can stop these requests.

For a perpetual (non-subscription) license of CorelDRAW 2020, sign-in is still required on first launch and periodically thereafter (every ~30 days) to re-validate.
