Corel Designer Tech Suite X5

Over the past 10 or so years I have used versions of both Corel Draw and Corel Designer Started with designer 2) happily and VERY successfully. Recently I upgraded to Windows 8 on all my computers and then the Corel Draw and Corel Designer x5 did not work. At that time Draw was more important and so I upgraded to Corel Draw Graphics Suite X6 and it works fine. HOWEVER, I now need some of my Designer X5 capabilities back, I would consider taking Corel Draw Graphics suite X6 OFF MY COMPUTER, and reinstalling Corel Designer X5 if I was sure it would work with Window 8

DOES COREL DESIGNER TECHNICAL SUITE X5 WORK ON WINDOWS 8????

Yes I know I can upgrade to Corel Designer Tech Suite X6, but now that I am retired and just taking art classes, the upgrade price is WAY too expensive!
