I don't really need help, but just an observation.  I have been using Winzip14(paid and registered), but thought I would check out a newer version when I ran across a *.xz compressed file that winzip14 wouldn't recognize.  So I clicked on winzip14 menu 'check for updates' , but got a message 'server not found'.  So I did a google search and found that Winzip is now on version 26 and would handle the *.xz compression.  So I downloaded the trial.. What happened is the trial removed my registered winzip14 program so now all I had was the 'trial' version 26.  I thought I would check on it's pricing since it was a major update from version 14 ... found  out it is now a 'subscription' cost .. whoa!!   I also then realized it is now a Coral company as well... Probably why the 'check for updates / server now found' showed up in my winzip 14.  So... used the trial to unzip the *.xz file, then removed version 26 and reinstalled my old trusty registered winzip14 🙂

So many things will be moving to subscription base only and I suspect Microsoft may play a roll in disabling software programs as they force updates on computers...Toyota announced that their remote start function from key fob will be on a subscription bases and I would not be a bit surprised if Microsoft does it as well...

Very good free open source program that fully supports .XZ and many others is 7-Zip. It's regularly updated as well.

Been using WinRaR for a very long time, over 10 years. It has a nag box to purchase a license or uninstall but you can just close it, you don't ever have to pay for it unless you want to.
