Your unsupported version of LibreOffice 3.5.7 was release 5 Oct 2012 and is well past its 
end-of-life from the projects perspective. 

- From the perspective of a commercial enterprise, the EOL dates guarantee
that LibO is not suitable.

With thirteen months from feature freeze, to EOL, an organization
doesn't have time to test, much less deploy new versions, before they
are passed the EOL date. Which makes purchasing Tier 3 support
mandatory. Good for the developers that offer that.  Not so good when
those costs are not included in either the transitional or ongoing
support budget. US$40K/year is cheaper than a new hire, but that can be
hard pill to swallow, if the software was proffered on the basis of
being gratis.

Somehow, I doubt that the City of Munich offers Tier 3 support to either
private individuals, or corporations.
