Bought this from RetailSoftware and it works as advertised. No problems installing, activating, or using it. Brand new. Came with COA and key. So far, so good.

Works as advertised. When buying this product, I recommend buying from someone with 100% ratings regardless of cost. In the past, I’ve paid less for this product and found out it did not install or work as promised. Many businesses still use Office 2007 so it’s a worthwhile investment in my ability to remain marketable.

Tried two computers each far exceeding minimum installment requirements for this program. It starts to install then stops 3⁄4 of the way through. The program appears to be running and it states it takes several minutes. I left it alone for 45 minutes two out of the four times I tried to install it, twice on each machine, and it made no further progress. Turned off the virus protection. Didn’t help.

Received 2003 Office package. Brand new. Not a copy or pirated version. No problems with installation or verification.

2015 was one of the better years for H&R Block’s signature product. In the past, updates were late and some parts didn’t work as advertised. This year worked well and updates were on time. No complaints.

I don’t have any of the other Corel products so I haven’t run into the same issues many of the other reviewers have. It installed fine for me on my computer without corrupting my registry (crazy that others have had that and it really makes me wish I didn’t touch this at all). It does what it says it will do but really I don’t need much of what it offers me because some open source projects I’ve used handle a lot of this for me already.

As this is an older version of office I won’t go into too much detail. The newer versions of office for the Mac are, of course, better than this version as they’ve added features over time. Compared to Mac software I’d probably give this 4⁄5 stars. I still do my Mac processing with IWork instead of the office suite but given my work uses Office I find that when I’m receiving a document from a coworker I’ll load it up in this suite just for the best compatibility.

I’m not a huge fan of Sage 50 Pro Accounting. I attempted to use it to modernize my fiance’s accounting system for her business. I took her excel sheets and attempted to input them into the system but found out very quickly how hard it really is to just ‘get’ without a lot of work trying to learn the UI. I’m not against it and it gets the job done I just think the marginal benefit for using this product isn’t worth the effort required to learn the software.

So, this is my first time with corel and the painter line of products and I must say it worked perfectly as I had hoped. I use a graphic pad and draw art in a non digital way – I set an undercolor and try to design something as if it were fine art. The images I made seemed almost as if I had done them directly on a canvas. The choices of brush types helped to ease this process even further.
