Bottom Line -
Microsoft was not satisfied with sales.
This is just one of the issues, in my opinion.
Business does not like to retrain when there are other ways out,
such as keeping older versions of office.

Works for me

Works for me

What about a way to unlock or fake activation for Office 2003?
I am a legal owner, had tore-do my HD from scratch, and their dammed
"activation" BS has locked me out of its use because they no longer
support it.
Why "old" 2003? Because the Visual Basic in its Excel has
capabilities and functions that (so far) no other versions have.
