How do I can I install MS Office 2008 on a MacBook Air w/ a valid product key? Can I download files somewhere?

How do I can I install MS Office 2008 on a MacBook Air w/ a valid product key? Can I download files somewhere?
Here's the scenario....
I've got a brand new gift MacBook Air 11" and I want to install Microsoft Office 2008 since I have a valid key license that's given by my nephew. Do I have any other options here?  Can I download all the necessary files from somewhere officially and just enter the Product Key to install what I need?  Are there other possible options? 
Your help would be much appreciated.
Thank you very much.

You can use a remote disc to download Office as shown here:

But please note several cautions:
1.  The product key is intended for one machine only.  You would have to be the sole user.
2.  Office 2008 is now very close to being obsolete.  Office 2011 has been out for years, and Office 365 is available for your Mac as well.

    How can I transfer microsoft office from my old MacBook Air to my new one?

    All your data will be transferred if you use Setup Assistant, which starts automatically the first time you boot the new machine. You may need to contact Microsoft to reactivate the product.

  • Where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    where can I download a digital Microsoft Office Mac 2011 for macbook air. I have a key product at hand.

    While they certainly don't make it clear, if you actually select the link on CNET, it's only an update file (Office2011-1434UpdateEN.dmg) which is listed on Microsoft's site:
    http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads?pid=Mactopia_Office2011&fid=ECF3967A-2593 -4E94-8670-CE555E20047F
    They used to allow for a trial download, but I haven't been able to track that down in a while.  If the original poster has their key, it can be downloaded directly from Microsoft here:

  • Microsoft office 2008 on new macbook air

    I am trying to install my old microsoft office 2008: home and student on my new macbook air with os x mavericks. Microsofts home page is telling me that this is an unsupported product. Can i still install it or do i actually have to buy a new office-package? I can't afford this and would like to use one of the two remaining users on my old office-package, since i hav only used one. Can someone help me with this?

    Good question, all I can find online are updates, not full versions. Assuming that it is no longer available for download (it is 6 years old now) you will have to buy an external drive and use it to install from your discs.
    Edit:
    Found a download on CNET, download it, then very carefully install it, CNET has a bad habit of 'adding' things to downloads so read what the installer dialog boxes say.
    The download is here
    Here is a better source to download from, Microsoft Office 2008. version 12.3.3

  • I can't install my MC344LL/A on my MacBook Air running Lion

    Hi all...
    I got a Time Capsule, model MC344LL/A.   I put the disc in & it says I cannot install it on my computer running Lion.   I searched for any time of update, but I cannot figure out what the heck I need.   Can anyone help me install this please?   Thanks to all!

    You should be able to configure that Time Capsule with the AirPort Utility software that's probably already on your Mac.  Look in the Utilities folder.

    just wondering whether can i install final cut pro in my macbook air wth intel corei5 64bit

    yes, you can. Its on mine.
    If however you plan on anything other THAN simple cuts and simple edits, youre barking up the wrong tree.
    Heavy layer and graphics additions or any serious vid. edits is not the forte' or platform for the macbook Air.

  • How can i install microsoft office on my Mac mini from a CD-rom ?

    I recently bought a Mac mini and a microsoft Office on a CD-Rom.
    But i can't find anywhere i can insert the Cd-Rom in order to install the software... How can i do please ?

    Much easier than the above (from Ms website):
    Option 1: Convert your Office for Mac 2011 trial. To convert a trial version, you must have a valid product key. The product key will convert your trial into a fully licensed version of Office for Mac.
    Locate the 25-character product key in your product package or confirmation email.
    Open any Office for Mac application, like Word, PowerPoint, or Excel.
    On the first screen of the Microsoft Office Setup Assistant, click Enter your Product Key.
    Enter your product key and complete the installation instructions.
    Option 2: If you have not previously installed the trial version, you can download Office for Mac from the Office for Mac website. To download, install, and activate the software you must have a valid Office 2011 product key.
    Locate your 25-character product key found in your product package or confirmation email.
    Go to www.officeformac.com/download
    Click Get Started to start the download process.
    When prompted, enter your 25-character product key and select your product language.
    When prompted, sign in with your Windows Live ID or sign up and create a new Windows Live ID account.
    After you enter your Windows Live ID, you will see a link to download the software. (You will also receive a confirmation email with a link to your My Account page if you prefer to wait and download your software at a later time.)
    Click Download Now to start the download.
    Save the file to your desktop. Do not change the file name.
    When the download is complete, double-click the .dmg file icon on your desktop. This opens the Installer application in Mac OS X.
    Follow the instructions in the installer screens to complete your installation.

  • How can I transfer Microsoft office from my old macbook pro to macbook air

    how can I transfer microsoft office from macbook pro to macbook air?

    Assuming you have the 2011 version the easiest way is go to Microsoft's Web site and download Mac Office 2011 onto your MacBook Air and then run it. If you have the 2008 (or the 2011) version on disc you can turn on DVD sharing in the Sharing control panel of your MBP and install it by remotely sharing your MBP's DVD.
    Since Microsoft uses activation when you start Office on the new computer if you use the same activation code as you used on the MBP you'll probably get a message to call Microsoft. Do so and just explain that you got a new computer.

    How can I install Snow Leopard on my 15" MacBook Pro without using its DVD drive?

    I'm assuming your dvd drive is broken? if you have a thumb drive large enough (8GB or better), you can use another computer to make a bootable image from the install dvd to the thumb drive. then you can install from the the thumb drive.

  • How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    How can I install ntfs on an external hard drive so that my Samsung Smart TV can see my media files? Or is there a better option?

    OS X cannot natively write to a drive formatted as NTFS, nor can it format a drive as NTFS. There are third-party NTFS drivers available on the market.
    Just out of curiosity: Even with NTFS, how is your TV going to access the external hard drive? Does the TV have a USB port?
