I installed 2021 for a client last year, because of the pay once model. I guess I should have installed 2024. This guy was using some really ancient version, and is really tech illiterate, the kind that writes procedures in a notebook, instead of learning why he does them. I installed LO first, to see if he could use it and be free of Office, but he got really nervous, so I got him the closest thing to what he had. Now I have to find out a way to resolve this. I guess I'll get a key from one of the key sitees, or do a massgrave. Thanks MS.
