| Feb 28, 2021 at 8:18 | comment | added | Gil Bor | @Gilby, Well, I dont know who installed Numbers on my laptop when it was new (I didnt), I bought it through a research grant and some service people in my workplace just gave it to me, ready to use, with all the basic programs working. Also, I dont know what is "AppleID" (sorry for the ignorance). Never mind. Now, if I upgrade the OS to 10.15 I can just install numbers from the App store for free, right? | |

| Feb 28, 2021 at 2:05 | comment | added | Gilby | @GilBor Yes, Numbers is nicer. But at least LibreOffice provides a free way of doing spreadsheets. | |
| Feb 28, 2021 at 2:04 | comment | added | Gilby | @GilBor "came with Numbers already installed". The would be an install using someone else's AppleID? Keynote "purchased in September 2018" means that was first date when your AppleID installed Keynote on any computer. The rights to install an App (and rights to newer versions) are tied to the AppleID - not the computer. My guess is that you (using your AppleID) have never purchased (for free) and installed Numbers on any computer. If so, that leaves you without an obvious way forward. | |

| Feb 28, 2021 at 1:42 | comment | added | Gil Bor | @Gilby the laptop came with Numbers already installed in it (same as Keynote and Pages). But Numbers does not appear in App Store whereas Keynote and Pages do. App store says Keynote was "purchased" in 2018 and Pages on Sept 2020. Beats me. Maybe they mean I updated it then. Can't remember. So one cannot install a previous version of Numbers from somewhere? I found somewhere an iWork '09 package. Works but too outdated. Does not open recent .pages files. Dont know how to update it. | |

| Feb 27, 2021 at 21:40 | comment | added | Gilby | Was the old install from the App Store? If so, check your purchased apps until you find it. If not (e.g. from iWork), you may be stuck. I suspect you can only 'buy' (for free) the current version which requires 10.15. Depending on how you use Numbers, Libre Office may be the way to go. | |
