Of course not. Way too expensive.
Access and Excel would be the only things I need and 500$ for that is too much. I’ll stick to OpenOffice.

So, I’ve downloaded the trial version of the software I want to try out and expect to purchase — but now it’s asking me for a key, which I don’t have. I see about 10 other people have had the same problem. What’s the key to use? Where do we get it? Is this some kind of secret?
