Fair enough. I've never paid full price for any Corel product. They're frequently on Humble Bundle where you get a bunch of them on the order of like $30 total. It looks like right now there's even a sale going on: https://www.humblebundle.com/software/corel-productivity-cre...

My CorelDraw license is for 2020, so not super up to date, but I've generally liked it. I've not tried the Essentials package.

I'm stuck with CorelDraw X8 which dates to 2016. If they were selling a buy-it-once license in 2020, I wasn't aware of it. I swear they had switched to subscription-only by then? But maybe it happened that year and I missed the last opportunity to buy a permanent license.

Last time I looked at Essentials, it looked to me like they had hamstrung it too much. I don't remember the specific restrictions they put on it, but I didn't want what they were selling. Might be worth another look with the Humble Bundle though.
