[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1712794, member: 83420"] Kaze, Welcome to Mac-Forums. First off, there is no way that an app designed for Windows will work on a Mac — unless you ran it within a Windows partition on your Mac (Bootcamp or virtual software) with a paid-for version of Windows. But as you apparently don't like the Windows software, I'm assuming that is not an option. As regards transferring the Licence — you could call Microsoft and try to persuade them to do this (good luck!); but the problem is not solved just yet — as you would need to purchase, or swap to, the Mac version of Office 2016. So, in effect, you would be asking Microsoft to take back your Office for PC and replace it (plus license) for the Mac version (even better luck!) Trading Licenses would not only be illegal, but worthless, for the reasons I've mentioned (you need the Mac version of Office 2016). I guess none of this was what you wanted to hear, but I can't think of any other solution. Ian [/QUOTE]
