Q: Uninstall and reinstall iWork with El Capitan?
So currently I'm using a macbook pro from early 2011. The computer was a hand-me-down, so the current version of iWork was installed with the previous user's Apple ID and password. Now I can't update iWork without his Apple ID and password, which makes iWork incompatible with my mobile devices.
I've tried moving iWork to trash and reinstalling it through the app store, but it doesn't seem to register with the app store and instead of letting me purchase it and download it anew, it wants to update it with the previous user's Apple ID still.
How can I update iWork? Is there a way to do it without purchasing it again? If not, how can I uninstall my current version so the App Store will let me purchase it?
I'm not sure if the current version of iWork was installed with a disc or not. It appears to have been updated in 2014 the last time, before I got the computer.
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11.1)
