Installing Microsoft Office on 2 user accounts

Hi
I have 2 user accounts on a Mac Mini (both administrator)
I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 with Outlook but it has only shown up on one of user accounts. There was no option to install on both accounts when I installed it.
Is there anyway to use MS Office 2011 on the 2nd account?
Thanks in advance
Jeff

Where was Office installed; in the Mac HD/Apps folder, where it is accessible to all user accounts, or in the Users/~/Apps folder where it is only accessible to the user in whose account it is installed?

  • How can I use Microsoft Office on two user accounts on one IMAc?

    Dear all,
    I have installed Microsoft Office 2011 on my IMac which I have recently bought. I did this on the (at that time) only user account in place: the administrator account.
    A little time after this my wife and I decided it would be much easier to us to make an additional user account on the same computer for my wife (also with administrator rights), so we could have our own settings, desktop preferences etc. So now we have two user accounts/profiles on one Imac, so far so good.
    But when my wife signs in on her account, she is not able to use Microsoft Office . Office seems to be only available to the user account on which it has been installed initially: 'my' account.
    Can anyone help us out here and tell us how we can make Office available to my wife's user account as well? I understand that the licence of Office is restricted to one computer, but what about two accounts on the same IMac? I mean, it is still one computer, one 'home', one family etc.
    We would appreciate your help here!
    Kind regards,
    Jurjen

    As long as you installed MS Office into its default location (the top level /Applications folder) it will be available to all user accounts on the Mac.
    As far as licensing is concerned you only have to enter the license code once, which you should do right after installing MS Office, in the same admin account you installed it from, by opening any one of the MS Office applications.  There is no additional licensing required for additional user accounts on the same Mac.
    Each user account is able to run the Office apps.  The only thing you will have to do is go through an initial setup screen in each user account (but this setup does NOT involve entering any additional license codes).
    You may have problems if you installed MS Office in a particular user account (i.e. NOT in the top level /Applications folder).

  • Installing office on all user accounts

    I have just installed Microsoft Office on my User Account (admin) but I cannot see it on other user accounts on the same Mac (standard profile)
    How do I install Office on all User Accounts?
    Thanks

    The /Applications folder at the root level of the disk is available to all the users, and is where applications are normally installed (admin acess is needed to install).
    There can also be an ~/Applications folder in the user's home directory (it needs to be created). Applications installed there will only be available to that user (no admin access is needed to install).

  • Do I have to register again for Microsoft Office for another user on my computer to use it?

    I have a version of Microsoft Office the is registered for 3 computers.  My wife is trying to use Microsoft Office under her user account but it asking for registration.  So my question is...Is my Office version for 3 separate computers or 3 users?
    Thanks

    Different operating systems. Your iMac runs OS X and the iWork
    applications you have on your iMac are written for OS X. On your
    iDevice, the operating system is iOS and you would need a version
    of the apps written for that. If you are not planninig to use the apps
    on your iDevice (iPhone, iPad, some iPods), you do not need to
    buy them. Having the apps on your iDevices provides instant
    syncing of documents across the iDevices using iCloud. iCloud
    does not provide Google App-like operation if that is what you are
    seeking. If this does not answer your question, perhaps someone
    else will chime in.

    Office requies a MS serial number, not your Apple ID. Are you attempting to install the Office 360 pay as you go version?

  • Trouble installing microsoft office 2013

     When i try to install Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2013 32 bit i get the message "Please Wait, were sorry. It looks like another installation is running. Please wait until it's finished and try installing Office again" although i
    do not have any other installations running. And once i press close to that Microsoft Bootstrapper "stops working" I have windows 7. Please help, thankyou!

    Hi,
    First, try to reboot your computer to check the issue, if the issue still occurs, then try the following methods.
    Note: Modifying REGISTRY settings incorrectly can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the configuring of REGISTRY settings can be solved. Modifications
    of these settings are at your own risk.
    I need you to check in the registry for a certain subkey that might be there. The subkey we are looking for is called “InProgress”
     From your desktop click the Start
    button
    In the search field type “regedit” (do not hit enter, “regedit.exe” will appear in the start menu)
    Right-click “regedit.exe” and select “Run as administrator”
    (If you receive the User Account Control message, select continue or allow to proceed)
    You should now be the Registry Editor.
    Now we are going to browse to the following subkey:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Installer\InProgress
    Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
    Expand SOFTWARE
    Expand Microsoft
    Expand Windows
    Expand CurrentVersion
    Expand Installer
    Under the “Installer” key do you see the subkey “Inprogress”, if so, right-click the “Inprogress” subkey and select delete.
    After you delete the “Inprogress” subkey, close the Registry Editor and any other window that you may have open and restart your computer.

  • Installing Microsoft Office Student and Teacher Edition 2004 (Mac)?

    Before I install Microsoft Office 2004-Student and Teacher Edition (Mac), Do I need to Uninstall/Trash the TRIAL Versions of Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage that came with the computer?
    *I have not activated the Microsoft Office 2004 Test Drive (30 day trial) yet for Word, Excel, Powerpoint and Entourage, which
    was already installed on my computer.
    Do I need to activate the trial?
    or Do I need to just Uninstall/Trash each ot the individual programs I mentioned above, Before I continue, to keep it from messing up the installion?
    Thanks In Advance!!
    Imac G5 Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    Hi FritztheKat (he was a very naughty kitty ,
    If you never installed the Test Drive, then simply trash it. Otherwise, you'll need to run the uninstall application and reinstall the full version, or it will eventually time out. If you can't remember if you installed the trial version, then keep it around on an external disk or CD-R/RW. Though as mentioned above, the full version gives you the option of uninstalling both the full and trial versions at once before reinstalling, so you shouldn't need to keep the trial version around. You can always download it again if necessary.
    Being at 10.4.6 for Tiger and with all updates installed for Office, there's nothing else to do there.
    As far as which apps to use, that's up to you. I use Entourage simply because it came with Office. That's not to say it's a better program by default than OS X's Mail. But I've never used Mail, so can't comment on which has the upper hand.
    You already have iChat, so MSN messenger isn't needed. But I just don't do any chatting online, so can't really tell you if one has features the other doesn't.
    If you do a lot of work for or with companies and/or PC users in general, then Word is the way to go for word processing. 100% compatibility with the majority of users when sharing documents is a big plus in that catagory.
    The Creative Suite will work fine (according to those using it on an Intel based Mac), but it will be rather slow since it has to be run through the Rosetta emulation. As will Office. Both Microsoft and Adobe have hinted that the next release of their products will be Spring of 2007. At which point, they'll be Universal apps, and so native to Intel Macs.

  • Captivate 7 Stuck Loading after installing Microsoft Office 2013

    Before the problem started, I initially had Adobe Captivate 5 (not 7) and have been working fine until I installed Microsoft Office 2013. As I tried to start Captivate 5, it gets stuck on the loading page—the welcome screen never shows up. After I checked this blog on the forum, which is blaming 3rd party fonts that may cause this issue to happen—I never installed any 3rd party fonts—I wasn’t sure if Office 2013 come with additional fonts that are not compatible with Captivate 5. So I removed Captivate 5 and installed the trail version of Captivate 7 (32 bit) thinking that Captivate 7 will be okay with any additional fonts that come with Microsoft Office 2013. Still having the same issue—can’t get the welcome screen—stuck on the loading screen. Regardless, whether I try to start the software or try to open an existing Captivate file by double clicking.
    As per another blog on the forum, I also tried removing/renaming Captivate folder located in C:\Users\MYUSERID\AppData\Local\Adobe but that didn’t help either. Now I have completely removed Captivate 5 folder from the directly as I have installed Captivate 7—still stuck with the same problem.
    I am running Window 7 Professional (32 bit), have the latest version of Java SE 7 Update 25, downloaded latest AIR update and of course every time removed any software, I did restart the computer to update the registration keys before installing a newer version of a software.
    You help and advice will be greatly appreciated! Many thanks!
    Regards,

    Hello Parth.
    Many thanks for your help! It worked!
    After deleting every font I could (out of 820 fonts, ended up deleting 687 fonts--only 133 remined that were proected-system fonts) I am successfully able to launch Captivate 7. I guess Microsoft Office 2013 did install some fonts that conflicted with Captivate 7 (even version 5). By the way, Myriad Pro, my favorite font when it comes to Captivate, is also system-protected that I couldn't delete. I now just have to work on Part B, and slowly reinstore the deleted fonts in small batches to keep Captivate working.
    Thank you again for the tip ... much appreicated!
    Regards,

  • How Can I install Microsoft Office to MBAir?

    I just bought new MBAir 11.6'' . And I don't know how to install Microsoft Office. I am just a new user.

    The most common method is to purchase download from Microsoft.  If you have already purchased office 2011 then download the trial and upgrade it with your key.

  • Installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    installing microsoft office for mac and getting prompt for installer password.  i have put in apple id password and admin password and not working, i have also reset my admin password 3 times and it is still not working? how do i get past this?

    You don't use your Apple ID or its password to install anything on your Mac. You use the admin account's name and password.
    Use the name and password you last entered when resetting them. The "name" you use is not the short name of the admin account folder.
    For example. If you create an admin account of John Smith, the short name given to that account's folder will be johnsmith. So when an app requests an admin name and password to install something, the admin name you enter is John Smith, not johnsmith.

  • Should I have installed Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit with Ex 2013 SP1?

    I have installed Exchange 2013 SP1 on a 2012R2 server, and all went well (I am at early stages of migration).
    Following the pre-reqs listed here: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb691354%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx#WS2012
    I installed Microsoft Unified Communications Managed API 4.0, Core Runtime 64-bit only.
    Since then I have seen other articles suggesting that I install:
    Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack 64 bit
    Microsoft Office 2010 Filter Pack SP1 64 bit
    Given I didn't notice any errors in the install, do I need to install those filter packs or is that outdated advice?
    regards
    Roga

    Thanks for taking the time to post Ed
    I did a bit more research and it appears that there is more than one view on this.
    E.G. this blog
    Why Exchange 2013 doesn’t need the Microsoft Office Filter Pack says:
    "Exchange 2013 swaps MSSearch for the Search Foundation, a component shared with SharePoint 2013. The Search Foundation has no need of the Office Filter Pack because it includes its own filters. Unfortunately, until SP1 came along,
    the Exchange 2013 Setup program overlooked this fact and stated that the Office Filter Pack was a prerequisite. Setup would install if the Office Filter Pack was missing, but who’s going to ignore a warning issued by Setup. In any case, that warning seems
    to have finally been suppressed."
    This blog
    Planning and migrating a small organization from Exchange 2007 to 2013 (Part 10) has:
    "After choosing the relevant setting needed to begin installation, the Exchange 2013 setup program will now perform readiness checks. Assuming these complete successfully, we'll expect to see just one warning.
    This warning relates to the lack of the Office 2010 Filter Packs, which are not required for installation, and are only required to create Transport Rules for OneNote or Publisher files"
    And this one
    Exchange Server 2013 FAQ: Is the Office Filter Pack Required?
    "The Exchange 2013 pre-requisites page on
    TechNet, at the time of this writing, does include the Office Filter Packs as a step in the preparation of a server for Exchange 2013. What it doesn’t make clear is that they are not required.
    The new Exchange Search already has support for indexing/searching Office file types, as well as a series of other file types including some third party formats such as PDF. You can see a full list
    here.
    So should you install the Office Filter Pack? If you want to stop seeing that warning message, then yes. If you want to take the approach of only installing required software on your servers, then no. Consider also that installing it means potentially having
    to update it later on if there is a bug fix or a security issue."
    The final para above is the approach that I have now taken, but if someone can give me a good reason to install office 2010 filter packs on Ex 2013 sp1 I'll revise my view
    regards

    Just to be clear, Office 2010 is for Windows.  Office 2011 is for Mac.  If you actually are trying to install Office 2010, you'll need to have installed Windows on your Mac either through Boot Camp or in a virtual machine.
