MS office licence key?

Don't suppose anyone has a spare key for a recent version of office by any chance? I've a bunch of data to go through from work but the spreadsheet is set up such that open office can't understand some of the weird formulae and my old version (2003) gives up and dies.

What version would you like to use?

As new as possible! Anything that I can download too :)

OK, can you get 2013?  I have keys for all of them so whatever you pick.  The 2013 keys I have require a call to the MS automated dude because I install and remove them a lot.  I think most of the keys I have will require that, but if you've done that before you know it's not a big deal, just a pain in the ass.

Would you mind me poking you ever so gently and lovingly...?

Not at all.  I sent you one and it just sat in the outbox so I deleted it.  Pretty sure that's what happened anyway. Let me skim back through here and see what version you need and I'll PM it again!

He's actually legally required to after the last incident. There's a reason he moved to Switzerland.

Is that where they send all the pv's?

All of which is a long distance from my attempts today to evaluate Access 2013 as a drop-in replacement for gaffing around with MySQL (and especially the client). It's almost as if Microsoft don't actually want to sell software. All I wanted to do was download a trial version before buying, but could I do that without signing up for a Microsoft account? Could I hell as like.

Instead I will stick with MySQL.

I think that was a good choice.  I'm usually a proponent of most of MS's software but Access hasn't been useful in years, if it ever was. I think I recall having success with it when I was really using ColdFusion a lot years ago.  Recently I've not even been able to figure out how to use it!  I was really beginning to think that I've hit that age where learning new things is hard and not worth the trouble but your post proves otherwise!  Proves it I say!
