The PsiService_2.exe is a process belonging to PsiService System Service from Protexis Inc, which gets installed together with Corel products like WinDVD. If you disable the PsiService_2.exe process, Corel products won't run, stating that the program needs to be reinstalled.
Recommendation:
The PsiService_2.exe is not a critical component. But it is not recommended to be disabled or removed if you want to run Corel products properly.

This is an application service. It's Corel License Validation Service powered by Arvato Digital Services Canada Inc, countersignature: Symantec Time Stamping Services Signer - G4. It installs with Corel Suites to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Protexis\License Service and there a 32bit version that installs as well and that is located in C:\Program Files(x86)\Common Files\Protexis\License Service

I downloaded a pirated copy of Corel Visual Studio X5 and it did NOTHING to stop me from using it!!
All it does is slow your boot time and use resorces!
Garbage!

Runs in the background as a secret spyware service - horrible! Uninstall immediately.

bought Corel paint shop pro ultimate x2 and wanted now to deactive psiservice. - corel no longer works. I just completely removed corel from my machine - never pay again for corel products. I rate it dangerous because if affects performance of my machine and it even runs when no corel product is running.

Corel Sucks for including this shitty piece of software PSISERVICE in their programs. I have Completely uninstalled all Corel Products and never buy one again in my life. We power users dont like backdoor trojans neither spyware from your fucking corporations. Shame on you Corel!

@vomorg
Your idea was correct, but I had to change it to:
net start "Protexis Licensing V2"
"Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo.exe"
net stop "Protexis Licensing V2"
As you can see I had to remove the start command to get the PSP.exe to run.
Also, I couldn't get the pinging to mean anything. In other words when I would run this cmd, the license would start, PSP would start. The CMD script wouldn't end until I exited PSP completely.
For those wondering, just make a text file where your PSP.exe resides. Insert the above, make sure the Corel Paint Shop Pro.exe matches your exe and save. Then rename the text file to anyname.CMD
When you make a shortcut to that CMD file or double click it, it will run V2 Protection, start PSP, then after PSP exits the CMD file will exit.

Lot's of companies in addition to Corel use this, it is a license verification service to prevent pirated software, or even legit software from being installed on more machines than licensed for.

if you use Corel programs then you need this running, like mentioned by others, this is part of some genuine licensing check Corel perform to validate the software as genuine

This service I have found was installed with InterVideo Windvd 8.
It causes my laptop to thrash the hard drive and gives memory reference errors. Removing it causes the WinDVD program to stop working with an error stating that the program needs to be reinstalled.
