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.

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

    Microsoft Office is sold as a subscription or as a perpetual licensed product. Your choice.

    Hi Jim

    I tried exactly what you suggested and received this message:

    Sorry...

    We can't finish signing you up.

    Your IT department has turned off signup for Office 365 Education. Contact them to complete signup.

    For whatever reason, which could be of course completely valid, they have made that decision but it is a shame that my son can't get it. I will have a look at the basic OneDrive version you mentioned.

    Cheers
