Will the core laser plug-in work with Coreldraw x7 home and student suite?
I ma not sure, in one of the facebook groups, someone had mentioned that they were having trouble with the student version. I would just use the supplied version (12) until you can upgrade the laser to a smoothie controller or other open source controller.
I am using x5 with no real issues
No it wont i bought a copy only to discover that the plugin only woks with corporate. as Alex said there is 5x available that works ok.
