It would not run correctly on MSO 2003? To me this implies is/are bug(s) 
in the macro code. And if it is buggy code upgrading your license will 
not help. Since the file is an *.xls file this implies the macro was 
intended to run on Excel 2003 and possibly even 2000 as well as later 
versions.

I was able to look at the VBA code for the macro in LO 4.0 so if one 
know the correct Basic dialect it could be (theoretically) converted but 
I have no idea how easy or difficult this would be. Hopefully, one the 
macro gurus can take a look at the code. On some of the code I did get a 
syntax error but I am not sure if the error is generic (occurs in VBA 
and LO Basic) or only specific to LO Basic.

I did not notice any documentation or comments that explained the code 
in the section I was looking at (bangs head on desk). Also, I did not 
see any copyright notice or license in the modules I looked at.
