On the software market of editing vector graphics the biggest companies would be Corel and Adobe. To use such a program at home Adobe Illustrator or CorelDraw, no problem. The number of users who use these programs at home (“for use intern personal") without licenses is almost 90%, but the companies based on activities that involve digital graphics, he must take out some $$$ from the account (Don't understand that I recommend someone to use Adobe Illustrator and CorelDraw without a license. Be it a home user or a company). Licenses they are not cheap at all and the fines collected by those who do not have a license for these software are not milder either.
