ACCESS 365 on UBUNTU LINUX WINE

Question

I have developed an application in MS-Access 365 which works very well on my Windows 11 Desktop. But I have an old PC which I have had to migrate to UBUNTU linux because it is not compatible with Windows 11, which I would like to run the database on. I believe I should be able to us WINE on UBUNTU to run the Access Runtime but I need my my Product Key to install it on WINE. So can you tell me:

1. Where I can find my Office 365 product key on my system to install the runtime?

AND

1. Is there an Access 365 runtime which I can install.?

thanks

Kind regards

Dear Chris AtProspectHouse

Welcome and thank you for sharing your issue in the Q&A forum.

Based on the information you provided and my research, here is the answer to your question:

• Office 365 does not use traditional Product Keys. Microsoft 365 (Office 365) is activated through your Microsoft account subscription, not by entering a Product Key. Therefore, you will not find a Product Key on your system.

Please help clarify this for me:

• Are you using Microsoft 365 (subscription-based) or an Office perpetual license with a key?
• Access Runtime is free. You can download Microsoft Access Runtime for free from the official Microsoft website here: Download Microsoft Access Runtime

Notes: Choose the correct version (32-bit or 64-bit) that matches your Office installation. Access Runtime does not require a Product Key to install.

I hope this information is helpful. Please try these steps and check again. If you encounter any issues, feel free to share, I’m always ready to assist you.
