Connect PaintShop Pro Ultimate to my Scanner

I'm not Levi but the short answer is no, you won't have a problem. Corel's license terms are legal ones - i.e., they are protecting their rights by publicly stating that they are only giving permission to use one purchased license on two machines as their way of trying to ensure people don't share it with multiple people. However, it doesn't actually prevent the software from being installed more than twice or on more than two machines.

Thanks again Levi for suggesting how to arrive at which version to install, I’ll do them both, I’ve got a 802 GB free so no issues there.

No, you wouldn't. The EULA (End User License Agreement) limits you to two installations on computers you own. And you're only allowed to run it on one of the two computers at any time. However, I have installed and re-installed the software numerous times (I reset my system a lot). Corel has not been known to strictly police installations of the software. It's more of an honor system, though eventually if you re-install too many times they might prevent further activation of new installs. At which point you'll need to call them up and explain yourself.

But If one computer's harddrive fails and the data is lost, you no longer have the software installed on that computer and you're allowed to install it again under the rules of the EULA. If ever the software says you can't re-activate it, contact Corel support to be given more activations. They tend to be understanding of events like a failed harddrive.

Thanks again Levi for your help and advice, Iv'e got 28 days left to run on the trial so I'll see how I get on with it.
I did have a look at Affinity but found the tool icons cannot be made larger and not having bionic eyeballs decided against it.

For anyone following this thread, earlier above I asked @LeviFiction if he could come up with a short script that could be run from 64bit PSP to open standalone scanning utility software to be able to access the 32bit TWAIN driver directly without having to use a 32bit version of PSP to do so. And, as usual, he came through in spades! Anyone who thinks they might benefit from his work and the script (which can be added as a button to your toolbar, maybe beside the existing Scanner icon) can go to the thread in the Scripting sub-forum here:

EDIT: I also realized today that another program I can now open conveniently from PSP with the script is my Font Manager when working with fonts, rather than having to open it from elsewhere outside of PSP when needed. I've added that as a button to my toolbar just beneath the Text tool so that I can open it immediately when working with text in PSP. Anything for convenience!
