The process was simple: After completing the software installation, the user would navigate to a system directory, C:\Program Files\Corel\PASMUtility\v1 , and manually overwrite the original PASMUTILITY.dll with the patched one.

This workaround was so effective that it became the go-to solution for dealing with the program's activation issues, and variations of this method have been used across numerous Corel software versions, from 2017 up to 2023.
: If a specific error persists, some users download a fresh copy of the PASMUTILITY.dll from verified sources and place it back into the PASMUtility\v1\ Run Windows Update
