- Nov 04, 2017 CJ offered the explanation for those who bought an Office 365 license and installed Office 2011 from their subscription. However, most people bought perpetual licenses and have a product key that came with the product. In this case, you can simply install Office 2011 onto your new Mac and re-use the product key.
- Feb 29, 2016 Part of the problem for Office 2011 & later is caused by using Migration Assistant, because the licensing of the software is associated with the HD on which it is installed. The problem can be avoided if Office 2011 is first Removed from one Mac before installing on another. That frees up the previously used install allowance.
