Can I unstall Office 2011 from a Macbook and re-install the same software on a different Mac/Mackbook?

Hi all,
I’ve looked around Google and here and I can’t find a definitive answer to my question so hopefully you guys can give me some advice
I bought the Office package in 2011 when it was new and installed it on my Macbook. I now plan to buy an iMac for the purpose of studying so I'd like to remove it from my Macbook and transfer it to the new Mac. My Macbook is running on the current highest software (the name escapes me at present, I'm not on it to check) and I assume the Mac will be too. If I were to uninstall everything, would I be able to use the same disc (i.e. same unique code) on the other computer? I believe I only have the 1 disc 1 Mac version so can't have two running with the same software.
Ideally I'd not like to buy another Office package so any advice would be much appreciated. I realise I may not have much choice though...!
Many thanks for your assistance.
Kind Regards,

New Mac's come with OS X 10.8 so you would have to check compatibility of your software with the new OS X versions.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Next you will have to check if the software will install or not on 10.8 from the disk, since the disk is static it can't change for newer OS X versions, however the software itself might run fine if a more recently updated version is downloaded  and installed, then the license key entered.
Far as licensing concerns, you will have to check with the developer how to go about deauthorizing, uninstalling and getting a new license key for the new machine or if you can continue to use the existing one.
Most licenses are for one machine, however some can be multiple machine packs.
If you don't exactly need Office specifically to work with other Office users, you can also install the free LibreOffice and it can open your Office files.
The thing with Office is it's widely used in businesses, so if you learned it already then it doesn't make much sense to continue using it and paying money for only personal use.
https://www.libreoffice.org/
LibreOffice is truly cross platform, Linux, OS X and Windows. The files are easily exchange and many Mac users are thrilled using it apparently as the developers have commented a great deal of Mac users are installing it.
If you have trouble installing, it's likely Gatekeeper security that's on the new 10.8 machines, simply hold control key and click on the installer/program and select "Open" and it will remmeber it's a trusted program from then on.

    how can i extract a person from a picture and then animate the person

    Basically you select the person using the various selection tools, copy the selection to the clipboard, and paste the selection onto the destination picture. Then use the Move tool to resize/reposition the person as necessary. Here is a tutorial demonstrating this as well as some advanced techniques.

    Hello Junior DBA,
    maybe try it with the "copy command".

    Have a look at the section "Understanding COPY Command Syntax".
    Here is an example of a COPY command that copies only two columns from the source table, and copies only those rows in which the value of DEPARTMENT_ID is 30:Regards

  • Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time

    Can I use HP Pro 8600 with usb and wireless at the same time?  Sometimes I cannot get the wireless to work, it seems to be my laptop.  It would be nice if I could use the usb, but it doesn't work.  What should / can I do, if anything?
    Sam

    Hi,
    Same physical printer but when connecting to SAME computer using both USB and wireless it becomes two (logical) printers. Probably your default prnter is the wireless one, you have to select the right printer before print .

    Yes. Update to iTunes 10.3.1
    Then go to the iTunes Store and click Purchased "new" under Music Quick Links on the right side of the iTunes window.
    You can re download your purchased content from the next window.

  • How do I uninstall Office 2011 from my MacBook Air?

    Hi,
    I wasn't sure where to post this, so sorry if it's in the wrong place!
    I recently installed Office 2011 on my Air, using the last licence available to us. I've just found out that my university is giving all students free office for Mac / PC. So, obviously, I'd like to take my existing version off my Air, install my 'free' version and hopefully reclaim one of the licences (so my husband can have Office on his!)
    Any ideas?

    Here are the directions, don't skip any steps.

  • I plan to buy iMac w/Mountain Lion How do I un-install FCE and MSoft Office 2011 from old iMac and reinstall

    How do I uninstall FCE (v 4.0.1) from old iMac (OS 10.6.8 2GHz Intel Core Duo)?
    Can I re-install on new iMac I plan to buy with Mountain Lion?  I have install FCE CD.

    Michael Griffith wrote:
    I couldn't remember from my earlier experience what the software was that worked, but I found FCS Remover on my Mac in Applications, so that's what I plan to try.
    That will do the job removing all the FCE related files.

    And I was surprised to learn the new iMacs don't have a DVD burner which I use all the time on this iMac and my newer Macbook Pro.  I suppose that's why the prices start at $1299?  I will look, but does the Apple store sell DVD burners?  And assuming so, do any of you have recs?
    As Keith mentions Apple sells one as an optional extra.
    There are others on the market as well.
    My experience is to do some serious homework before buying any unit to make sure it is compatible with your specific Mac. Some users have been very disappointed.
    I use an OWC (Other World Computing) bluray burner with several types of connections and it works fine.

    Lastly, it has taken me about 4 years to master FCE.  I am willing to go to FCP X if those here can advise me about 1)how tough is the learning curve if you're good at FCE and 2) is it a better program?
    Question 1.
    Totally different to FCE and you need to forget most of what you learnt there to adapt to FCP X.
    Most dramas occur learning FCP X because users try to think and use FCP X the the old way.
    It took me some adjusting to get into the new methods and thinking and terms used.
    Advice: Read the manual and unlearn FCE. Search the FCP X forum or ask a specific question, the info there is mounting.
    Question 2.
    Better is a subjective term.
    I have sold all my old legacy FCP stuff and moved on to FCP X.
    As a broad statement it makes it easier for someone who knows little about editing and the quirks of codecs to Import and Edit a Project.
    That being said the underlying complexity of the app is very powerful.
    Like all apps it's not perfect, the current version is 10.0.8 and I made the shift at 10.0.7 when it had matured to the extent I was personnaly happy to make the jump.

  • How many times can I install the same song on a different PC

    I had one PC where i kept all my iTunes songs. I also made a backup from all of these songs on a external hard disk. I had big problems with my PC and I had to reinstall Itunes and import all the songs again (from my backup on the external hard disk). When I want to play some songs I receive a message telling me I installed that song for the 5 th time on a different PC and that it will be the last time I can do that. How is this possible? I only installed it on 1 PC ????

    If your system crashes or you reinstall your operating system without deauthorising iTunes first, even a single computer can use up your limit of 5 authorisations. If you've reached your limit of 5 you have the option once a year to deauthorise them all in one go and start over again: About iTunes Music Store Authorisation and Deauthorisation

  • Does the MacBook and iPad have the same type of common applications?

    I am new to the Apple environment but an advanced user of Windows.  I currently teach Senior Citizens how to use a computer with windows.  However, there are some seniors that have either a MacBook or iPad and would like to learn how to use them as well.  Therefore, I'd like to offer to have a training class that includes both of these products together.  Do both products contain the same basic type of applications such as; Mail, Address, Calendar, Photo Booth, iChat, etc...?  I know that Safari is the same.
    I want to be able to give both types of users a good understanding on how to do things such as; using Mail, surfing the web, etc...  I noticed though that sometimes the steps taken to do something on a MacBook is different on an iPad.  I would appreciate it if anyone can give me advise on how to approach this type of class.
    Thanks,
    Marie

    Maybe after you have spent time with MacBook Pro, iPhone and iPad yourself and used iOS 5.1 and soon to be iOS 6. Send the students to an Apple Store training seminars. Knowing Windows, maybe prepare students for Windows Metro and Windows tablet or something more familiar.
    Even though iOS look and feel has invaded Mountain Lion, they are not the same in any way. In name and looks only is Safari really the same.

  • HT1688 I deleted contacts from my iphone and it deleted the same contacts from my wifes. We share an icloud acct. I need to know if there is any way to get those contacts back?

    How do i get contacts that were deleted back on my phone when they were deleted from a device sharing an icloud account?

    Nope. Because you share the same account there is no way to retrieve it. You should both have separate iCloud accounts. You both can use the same account for the App Store but you should have a separate account for everything else. 

  • Sound coming from both speakers and headphones at the same time in probook 4440s

    I have a Probook 4440s with windows 8 pro(64 bit) with IDT high definition codec installed. Yesterday when i was playing some songs i noticed that the sound was coming from both headphones and speakers even when my headphones are plugeed in and my lappy was having no such problems a few hours earliers while i was watching a movie. Please help..

    It may be because you have both the internal speakers and headphones enabled at the sametime on your laptop. This might just happen automatically when you plug your headphones in. You need to manage your audio devices on your laptop.
    Go to Control Panel> Hardware and Sounds> Manage Audio Devices> Playback Tab (which should already be selected)    
    In the playback tab there should be a list of all the audio devices you are using on your computer. Right click on the one you don't want to use and click disable. This should stop the sound coming from that audio device. 
    Remember: You will need to enable that audio device if you want to listen to sound through it again. Your internal speakers won't work once you enable them again. This might also be the case with your headphones. You may also have to do this every time your plug in a device or once you restart your computer.
    Another note: Sometimes disabled devices will not show up on the audio device list so once you disable a device it will dissappear. This is an easy fix too. Just right click on an audio device and make sure show disabled devices and show disconnected devices is checked.
    I hope this helps.
    (I was using a computer with Windows XP to explain the instructions but it should be similar with your Windows Operating System. You may however have to play around a little on your computer because it may be slightly different)
