Success! I was able to install the $2.00 Paintshop Pro Ultimate and get it working. I have since deleted it since I don't need it, and I don't want to cheat the company. The problem was mis-communication. After it did not work, I contacted the seller, and he gave me a new link and serial number. He said to disconnect from the Internet before entering the serial number, something he did not mention in his first email. I was not able to fully unzip all the files, so I was stalled again.

I went back to the original link and number and disconnected from the Internet. That let the number go through and the program finish the installation. Whether or not this would continue to work after being connected to the Web continuously, I don't know. Does Corel occasionally check in with users and examine their installation? I guess I'll never know.

End of experiment.
