How to retrieve Microsoft Office Product Key  for Mac

Hi there, Hopefully someone might have a suggestion on how to retrieve the Microsoft Office Product Key for Office 2010 on Mac.
Scenario:  Last month, Apple advised me my iMac hard drive may be faulty and would need replacing.  That was done, I restored my iMac from Timeline backup and everything is dandy except I need the Product Key for Office to access any of my documents.  I purchased the product online in my old job, that email address is now no longer valid and I have lost access to the email that the product key was emailed to me in.  I am unable to retrieve the product key from Microsoft without buying a new copy.
I do have Office uploaded on my Macbook Air from the same download/product key, so I have access to the program on the laptop but not the iMac.  Hopefully I can get the product key from the laptop somehow.
Any guidance or suggestions would be appreciated.  Thanks :-)

As Office is not an Apple product, I strongly recommend asking in the Microsoft Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
Everyone there is a Mac user AND an Office user, something you can't say about Apple's forums. You will get the fastest help there and I think you will find the contributors more than helpful.

  • Retrieving Microsoft Office Product Key from Time Machine

    Hi All,
    I have recently replace my hard drive with a SSD in my Mac book pro late 2011 and carried out a time machine restore, now when I try to open any microsoft office for Mac apps it is requesting my product key and I am unable to close the pop up. I no longer have the product key as I recently moved and mislaid the key is there any way of going into a previous time machine back up to retrieve the key ?
    Thanks in advance.

    For the future, somewhere on your boot disk there's a Microsoft Office folder. The next time you get the product key, create a TextEdit document, enter the product key in it and save the document in the MS Office folder. If you restore from Time Machine or a backup, it'll be there. Make recording such key numbers (product keys, authorization codes, etc.) on your computer where you can find them, and you'll thank yourself down the road.

  • Can't find 2011 Microsoft Office product key after using Time Machine

    I just upgraded my macbook pro to a 512gb crucial ssd. In order for me to do this without downloading any other software off the internet, I bought an external drive and had time machine back up everything. I installed the SSD, started up the computer and had time machine do its thing and booted everything up onto the ssd. Everything went perfectly up, until I went to open up any Microsoft Office application because they required I put in the product key. The last time I put in the product key was when I first bought the macbook pro about 4 years ago(I installed everything using the disc). What I tried to do was boot the computer using the old hard drive and we have the same story.... I need a product key that I don't have. I even tried installing a product key finder and it found no Microsoft Office product key.
    Tomorrow my plan is to use time machine to bring me back to the couple minutes before I setup the new SSD. Before I do that, I want to know what your opinions are on this matter or more importantly, what should I do?
    Thanks in advance.

    Read the instructions that came with your PIN - they tell you how to get the Product Key from the MS Shop (I think it comes from there, anyhow!)
    This link may work... https://office2010.getmicrosoftkey.com/

  • Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2?  If yes, then how?  I have the software and one more load opportunity left.

    Can I load Microsoft Office Word 2011 for MAC on an IPAD 2?  If yes, then how?  I have the software and one more load opportunity left.
    Reason that I ask is that I'm worried that I will not be able to read or work word or excel docs that people send me.

    No. Office 2011 for Mac is coded to run with OS X. In order to work on the iPad the app must be coded for iOS instead.
    If you look in the iTunes App Store, you will find that there are many apps that allow you to work with Office files on an iPad.

  • Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    Does anyone know how I install Microsoft office onto an I Mac or if I even need it.

    If you need to write or modify documents made with Word, Excel, or Powerpoint, then you need Office. Otherwise, you don't. If you already have it then installation just involves double-clicking on the Office Installer's icon.
    You may want to consider as well:
    These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
    NeoOffice
    Open Office
    And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
    Pages - word processing and layout
    Keynote - presentation
    Numbers - spreadsheet
    Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
    (Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.)

    You can download the trial: https://www.microsoft.com/mac/trial
    There should be a place to register in which you could enter your code. It may only ask you to register after the thirty days, I can't recall.

  • How do you get the product key for your new Satellite C55-B5202?

    I recently bought this new laptop and for the love of God I can't use Microsoft Office cause it keeps asking me for a product key. Please tell me how do I retrieve it! It did not come with a CD, there is no sticker at the bottom of the laptop or the box itself.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Satellite C55-B5202
    According to the spec above, you have a "1 month trial for new Office 365 customers." When the trial ends, you’ll be prompted to choose which version of Office you want to purchase.

  • Microsoft Office Product Key

    Hi
    I am planning on getting a new hard drive for my macbook pro and I can't find my Microsoft Office 2011 product key (or installation disk)
    If i want to have office on the new hard drive, do I simply have to copy the Applications (and related files) over to the new hard drive, then add the [/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist] file?
    Or do I need to reinstall Office from the microsoft website (if so, where would I find this)?
    Please correct me if I am wrong

    I'd suggest calling Microsoft, since it's their product and they issue and validate the product keys.

  • I need to re-enter Microsoft Office Product Key all the time!

    Why do I need to enter the Product Key Number all the time when I open Office programs? I use Microsoft Office Mac 2011 Home & Student. At least every week I need to re-enter the product key number..... Why??

    Get in touch with Microsoft support. Let them solve it. That is what I had to do with a similar problem.

    Depending on who is on the other end you may be asked to pay $75. I was. If that happens insist the service should be free and ask to speak to a supervisor.

  • MICROSOFT OFFICE 2004 PROGRAMS FOR MAC

    Please take your time to educate me how to remove the Office 2004 Test Drive installed and disable virus protection software on my computer while I am in the middle of Setup Assistance before installing the Microsoft Office 2004 programs into my computer.

    The Office 2004(test drive) folder is located inside of your Applications folder. Double click on Macintosh HD from the desktop then double click on Applications and look for the Office folder. The Trash icon will be located on the right side or bottom of your Dock depending on which orientation you have it. Once you have moved it to the trash then Empty the trash by right clicking on the trashcan and selecting "Empty Trash".
    That is just a default warning that only applies if you have installed specific Anti-Virus software on your Mac. Apple currently does not ship Macs with any kind of Anti-Virus programs installed so you do not need to worry about it.

  • Looking for Legacy version of Microsoft Office 3.0 for Mac

    I don't know where to ask this, I have an old Mac and want to obtain a copy of a legacy version of Microsoft Office version 3.0 for Macintosh. Any help in finding a copy would be appreciated.

    Yes it is an old Mac SE30 I have rebuilt from the empty case up. running OS 7.1P w 16MB ram
    I am trying to build it up for the old style software I used to use. It has a 10MB external HD and 2 internal FD's.
    I have looked on eBay and various other local lists but to no avail, the earliest I can find is Office 98 which is too big and requires a color monitor.
    I have a copy of Word 5.1a and excell 3.0
    I think Office 3 had Word 4.0/Exvell 3.0/Powerpiont 3.0
    So I guess I could just concentrate on Powerpoint 3.0 or 4.0 to get the same effect.
    But Office 3.0 would be the cat's meow if you know what I mean.
