Locating product key for MS office

my HD was replaced on my  iMac  at an  Apple service center.  The  transfered my old HD info onto the new HD but when I try to open MS Office 2011 I get an error message saying I need to type in the Product Key #.  I have two imacs with their own MS Office 2011 program installed and discs I used for each computer.  I did not write down which install disc I used for each computer. 
Is there a way to find out which KEY # was used on the imac that is still able to open/use MS Office 2011?
Thanks

  • How to find product key for Microsoft Office 2010?

    I purchased an HP Pavilion dv6 a couple of years ago. At the time of purchase I also ordered a license for Microsoft Office 2010. The laptop came with Office already installed, and everything worked great for years.
    Earlier this week I had to do a full system restore to get my laptop back in working order. I backed up all of my user files, found installers or original installation media for all of my software except for Office, and proceeded with the system restore.
    I just got everything running again this morning. The system restore put a clean copy of the OS on my laptop, but Microsoft Office is gone. I've just about finished re-installing all of the other software, but I need some help with Office.
    Since my laptop didn't come with installation media for Microsoft Office 2010 I'm trying to donwload it from here:
    https://www2.downloadoffice2010.microsoft.com/usa/registerkey.aspx?culture=en-US&ref=pkc
    It asks for a product key for Office 2010 in order to start the download. The product key for Microsoft Windows is on the bottom of my computer, but I can't find a product key for Office. (Before anyone asks, yes, this is the full version of Office 2010, and yes, I paid for it at the time of purchase of the laptop.) I kept all of the paperwork that came with the computer, but I can't find the Office product key anywhere in that packet. Is there somewhere else I should be looking for my product key?
    Better yet, does HP still have a copy of my original purchase order for this laptop, and do they store product keys for the products they sell? 
    Thanks,
    Tom

    Neither HP nor Microsoft keep a record of the key that was issued.  If you cannot find it in your documentation or emails I'm afraid you are out of luck and would have to purchase another key.

  • New computer.. Product key for Microsoft Office?

    I recently purchase a new notebook assuming Microsoft Office would be installed and ready to use. It is installed but asks for a product key to use. I did not receive a product key with any of the paper work for the computer. Is this program not included already, or do I need to buy the program?

    There is no such thing as a trial anymore so that is incorrect. IT has Word started on it which allows you to use basic functions of word and excel. You don't get an actual code as it is just the basic use of it, not like a full version.

  • Where can I find the product key for Microsoft Office 2011 that I purchased on line?

    I upgraded my MacBook Pro to the Maverick operating system and now I have to enter the product key when I try to open MS Word, Excel or Powerpoint.  Where can I find the product key in my mac?

    Yet another example as to why you should always purchase software on disk whenever possible.

  • Retrieve product key for preinstalled MS Office

    Is it possible to retrieve the product key for preinstalled MS Office 2007 Home & Student, after I've done a System Recovery? I recovered via the factory image partition, not the recovery disks (if it makes a difference).Perhaps the recovery disks include all pre-installed software as well; the factoryimage partition didn't, from what I can see.
    I can supply model product number, serial number, MS Windows product ke (if that helps). Thanks.

    I'm afraid you are out of luck if you did not keep record of the key when you got it.  Factory restore erases everything including the key.  Check in your documentation or invoices if it is recorded there.  HP does not keep record of those keys and Microsoft will be of no help either.  You may download the Office software but without the key it will not activate.

  • 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.

  • Starter Pack now includes 60 day Eval product key for SLES

    Q1: What is the Starter Pack?
    The Novell Open Workgroup Suite - Small Business Edition Starter Pack is a product that provides a Customer with a no-cost, one-time, 5-user license for Novell Open Workgroup Suite - Small Business Edition. This is not a trial or evaluation license but a full product license.
    Q2: Am I required to purchase Maintenance with the Starter Pack?
    No!
    Q3: Are all the NOWS SBE components and add-on products included with the Starter Pack?
    No. Maintenance is required to obtain some of the component products and product updates. At one point there was a list of the additional products that were available to customers who purchased maintenance but I am unable to locate it, perhaps because NOWS SBE licenses can now only be purchased with maintenance.
    Q4: What is the issue regarding product keys for SLES?
    When NOWS SBE is installed, customers are required to enter product keys for each of these three products: NOWS SBE, OES, and SLES.
    Product keys are normally included with most products when the product is delivered however SLES product keys work a little bit differently. A SLES product key allows access to patches and updates and is provided when a customer purchases maintenance. Novell will provide a temporary 60-day "Eval" product key when a customer downloads an Eval copy of SLES. This subtle distinction goes unnoticed when NOWS SBE is delivered because NOWS SBE licenses can only be purchased with maintenance.
    Novell now delivers the Starter Pack with a 60-day Eval product key for SLES to allow customers to complete the NOWS SBE installation without having to purchase maintenance.
    Q5: What do I do if I need licenses for more than 5 users?
    Simply purchase as many additional groups of 5-user NOWS SBE licenses as you need. For example, if you had ten users, you could purchase the Starter Pack plus one additional 5-user NOWS SBE license.
    Note: Since NOWS SBE 5-user licenses can only be purchased with maintenance and customers with maintenance must purchase maintenance for all licenses, you would be required (in this case) to purchase maintenance for the 5-user license obtained with the Starter Pack.
    Q6: How do I get the Starter Pack? <customer>
    Your Novell Reseller can provide additional information and order it for you. Some conditions apply.
    Q7: How do I get the Starter Pack? <reseller>
    The Starter Pack is ordered through your distributor and delivered electronically to your customer. You may find the following Novell product codes helpful:
    Novell Open Workgroup Suite - Small Business Edition 2.5 Starter Pack 5-User License (873-010136)

  • Where do I find the product key for win XP?

    hI
    I am new here.
    I just purschased a Lenovo SL500 from Hemini.
    I have a question that they wouldn't answer for me. Hopefully someone of you can.
    My laptop came with windows XP installed and with CDs for installing Vista.
    I chose to stay with XP.
    The Windows sticker underneath the laptop is for Vista => the 25 digit Product Key it has on it is for Vista and won't work for "validating" my Windows XP and Windows Office software.
    Nowhere in the package did I find any mention of a product key for the XP.
    Please help me as to what I should do now.
    Thank you.

    Hi Oingk,
    Most [maybe all] computer manufacturers use volume license key to install and activate Windows:- http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volume_license_key
    Preinstalled Windows OSes from lenovo come already activated, it's surprising that yours is not activated. I suggest contacting lenovo CS.
    In case you did a clean install then you should have created recovery discs for XP first, these discs contain an image of preinstalled Windows [pre-activated] and other lenovo software:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-68317
    As for Microsoft Office, the version bundled with thinkpads is trial unless specifically ordered a license during purchase.
    Hope it helps.

  • Get product key for preinstalled windows 7

    Hello sir, I bought this laptop (Hp pavilion dv6 6115tx Entertainment Notebook)around 4 years ago with preinstalled Windows 7 Home Premium Operating system.  As you know Microsoft is going to give free upgrade to Windows 10. But the problem is that the product key below my laptop is not much visible. I am unable to identify the product key.  Is there any other way to get product key of my genuine windows 7? I have recovery disk with me. but it does'nt  have product key on it.Please help me... Thanks & Regards,Rushikesh Musale

    Yes, you can use the same product key for 64-bit release too, as SenneVL says. But, kindly note that upgrade across is not supported and you need to perform clean install only. Also, kindly note that the Windows installation must be made in the same PC,
    even if different architecture is being used. Otherwise, activation issues will arise.
    Multiple architecture is supported in multiboot, so Windows 32-bit and 64-bit can be installed as multiboot environment, parallely.

    Solved!

    Hi mpweinberg,
     Welcome!
    Since Windows 8, OEM preinstalled operating systems store and encrypt the product key in the uEFI or BIOS firmware chip.  The product key is no longer on the COA sticker to help prevent theft. Whenever you need to reset or reinstall the same operting system on your OEM PC, the product key will automatically be applied and activated. Have you tried running Belarc Advisor? I believe that will show you the product key along with other important information about your system. http://belarc.com/

  • Need To Find Product Key For Windows 8

     It's my son's laptop and I bought it brand new in January 2013. It crashed two months later. I tried to get help through HP but to no avail. They told me to update the BIOS, which I did, and it worked for maybe a week and crashed again. I had a friend wipe it and start over twice after that because it just kept crashing. I then called HP, since it was still under warranty, to have them send me a new one since this one was obviously defective and the lady with whom I spoke said she would have someone call me back to help me. This never happened. I just gave up on it and bought another laptop in March 2013...the same exact brand, model, specs, etc. and have had absolutely NO problems with it since. I've since decided that it merely needs a new hard drive, which I am more than happy to purchase and install. It is the only thing my son has asked for as a Christmas present this year. The problem I have is that I don't have the product key for the OS. It came installed with Windows 8 and I have read through several other messages and understand that it is not something you can buy, however, I do believe, and feel that I am entititled, to have the product key so that I can properly fix my son's laptop. After all, it was a defective laptop/hard drive with which to begin and since HP support was actually of no support whatsoever HP should be willing to help with this situation. I have only ever used HP for desktops and laptops and have since 2001 and this is the first product I have purchased that was probelmatic.
    Any and all help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    Hi:
    Microsoft did away with OEM product key stickers starting on all PC's that come with W8.
    The OEM product key is now encoded into the BIOS in order to prevent it being used on other PC's.
    So, your notebook does have a product key. 
    You just can't read it and if you order recovery media for the specific model notebook, or use a Windows 8 OEM installation disk you won't need the key.
    It will automatically enter itself during the installation.
