This is a good software package with many useful apps included. But you may encounter installation issues, as I did. If either of the two serial numbers (keys) are flagged as invalid, you have to go to the nearest Best Buy physical store to have your purchase cancelled, and get a new digital product. The problem can not be fixed via chat or phone. Also, Corel will not provide you with a solution. I spent a week before I was told what I had to do.
Also, the installation of the many apps can be intimidating to one not experienced with folders and file structures. The installation sets up a sub-sub directory that contains a number of folders. Inside most of them is an executable file used to install a particular program in the package. The purchaser has to go to each in turn to do the complete installation. Be sure to install the PaintShop Pro program first - it is the main one, and needs a valid serial number to proceed.
Despite my problems installing the package I would recommend purchase of this package, particularly if you can get it on sale. I find it to be a very useful set of tools.

The first thing I noticed was is how amazingly compact and solid this external SSD drive is. I use it for keeping backups of my laptop - I have two of these drives and alternate between them. The drive is very fast - typically 1000MB/s on my fast USB 3.2 connection. The drive is very thin, and takes up very little space in the outer pocket of my laptop bag. It is excellent value.

I purchased this bag for my new HP Omnibook X Flip 2-in-1 16" laptop. The laptop is a perfect fit, and is well protected inside the bag. Because this laptop has a 16-10 profile, it is a little higher inside the bag but still fits well. There is enough space in the side pouch for a compact mouse. The bag has very good construction. I consider it to be a good buy.

This case is an excellent fit to the Motorola Moto G
5G (2024). Each of the openings on the bottom
provide plenty of clearance. In particular, I have no
problems plugging in my headphones, or plugging
in my USB C cable. The side volume buttons are
precisely positioned with those of the phone - there
are no issues adjusting volume. The cutout on the
side for the power button/fingerprint sensor works
extremely well. The cutout on the back for the cameras
is fine. The cutout on the top for the top microphone
is fine. The case looks great on the phone!
