Microsoft Office 2011 Mac 64 bit upgrade

I purchased Microsoft Office 2011 along with the purchase of my MacBook.  I did an upgrade yesterday only to find that Office 2011 will only run on 32 bit.  The upgrade now requires Microsoft Office to run on 64bit.  I read in many places that Microsoft has no intentions of supporting this upgrade so therefore, I can no longer safely use this software, that I purchased, on my mac.  Microsoft is forcing me to purchase something I have already purchased earlier.  I do not care if there are newer versions of Microsoft Office.  I purchased Office 2011 and Microsoft should still honor that purchase by providing the 64bit upgrade.  I contacted support thru their chat box and was only directed to this site where I can look up or post my own questions.  Really great customer support Microsoft! Thank-you! NOT.  I wish to have a refund or a product key to another Microsoft Office that will run on Mac at 64bit. I'll be holding my breath awaiting even more outstanding customer service.

    What a load of BS.

    Your footer says you are unpaid and independent so you have neither a fiscal or a contractual relationship with microsoft.  You write opinion here which is poor and the firm are in no way reliable for what you say.

     It is rich you calling anyone a troll here as you clearly spurt crap.

    At lest anyone with common sense can see what a bunch of asses contribute here. 

    I will now stop following this thread as you have completely missed the point. In my eyes your efforts here have further trashed the reputation of microsoft!

    You are wrong. You have no clue what the problem is. The problem is "yearly subscription" now.

    "I am an unpaid volunteer and do not work for Microsoft.

    "Independent****Advisors" work for contractors hired by Microsoft.

    "Microsoft Agents" work for Microsoft Support."

    Can you give an example of another industry where manufacturers refuse to engage with customers and offload the majority of their support to third party volunteers, especially volunteers who are misinformed and have a somewhat warped view of reality? 

    Your premise is false on its face. Microsoft engages with its customers as evidenced by this very forum which you are trolling.
