Lost key Microsoft Office

I'm changing to a new computer. I lost the key code to Microsoft Office 11. I don't have the disc either. I found my proof of purchase though on amazon. Will Microsoft give me a new key? Just trying to anticipate the cost of an new computer. Thanks.

When i upgraded to mavericks I lost my microsoft office

Thank you this is what I am doing and since I didn't purchase it directly through them they can not get me the code that I need.
Regardless of the means by which you purchased Office, it's Microsoft's product and Microsoft holds the keys to it (literally). Contact them.
Office 365 is a subscription-based product for which recurring fees must be paid. If you find that Microsoft's licensing requirements make their products inconvenient to use, I recommend that you avail yourself of any number of better alternatives. Some are free, others are nearly so.
LibreOffice (donation-supported)
NeoOffice ($30 but older version is free if you can find it)
OpenOffice (donation-supported)
Numbers, Keynote, Pages - all free with the purchase of a new Mac, $19.99 otherwise. They are designed to integrate with iCloud and complement their iOS versions, also free with the purchase of an iOS device.
All of them read and write their Microsoft equivalent file formats. They require no license keys nor are recurring fees assessed for their continued use.

Recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although don't have my key codes!! should i just buy new software package ?

recently bought new macbook pro , transferred data over and thought microsoft office would work on new laptop. Icons are there , although requires key codes and I don't have my key codes anymore as dog chewed the packaging!! should i just buy new software package ? I am told that this is a microsoft issue not a mac issue !! But all my other data on the old macbook pro transferred over even the icons for office for mac on the bottom app bar. only now I can't open any of my word or excel files without key code! I thought that there may have been something that could be done before having to bite the bullet and fork out for new software package.??

If this is Office for Mac 2011 then it will work on your new computer. Reinstall it. If you don't have the key code call Microsoft's activation line to get a new key code. Explain that you lost the original key code and want to install Office on your new computer.

Lost key for 60 days trial version of Office 2007.

Hi,
I accidently deleted shortcut to 60 days tial which was included when \i purchased my laptop.
Are there any ways ow to find this lost key?
"To get a valid product key double click on the icon "Microsoft Office - 60 Day Trail" on the desktop an follow the instruction on the screen."
I found one suggestion how to solve this problem however I dont have this icon on my desktop.
Thanks.

Using this shortcut you can start Microsoft activation assistant und request trial activations key.
Shortcut target in properties is C:\Program Files\Activation Assistant for the 2007 Microsoft Office suites\ota.hta
So try to find it in windows explorer and start from there. This is HTML application. When you start it you can get script error message but just click on YES and continue.

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.

Lost iPhoto, iMovie, and Microsoft Office

I recently got my macbook pro fixed because of a system error. When I got it back all the memory was lost, including iPhoto and iMovie which I thought was weird. I tried searching for them on my spotlight but I couldn't find them. Also my microsoft office disappeared. I had Word, Exel and Powerpoint and I can't find them. I tried going on the microsoft site to insert my product key again but it won't let me download it again because I already previously had it. How do I retrieve these things?

So what happened is they reinstall OS X and maybe changed the hard drive.
You can get the iLife apps from the Mac App Store in your Purchases area.
As for MS Office do you have a license key code for it? If you do you can download it from MS and apply that key code to authenticate it. If you do not have the license key code you will need to buy it again. And if you have to buy it again make sure you save the license key code for it so if you ever need to reinstall it you can reuse that key code.

I have lost microsoft office 2007 from my system. What should I do get it back?

If you no longer have the software and product key you can't use Microsoft Office. The system usually comes with the trial version, so it's likely that you never had a product key.
You'll need to use MS Works, Buy MS Office, or find a free alternative such as OpenOffice.Org The key on the label beneath the notebook is for Windows, NOT Office.

How to open a lost file in Microsoft Office Autorecovery

Excel crashed and when it autorecovered my file upon restart it opened the original file with none of the data I had added.
To find the autorecovered file I followed the instructions here: How to find a lost file in Microsoft Office Autorecovery
But now I cannot open the file without seeing the following error code. This happens even if I change the file type listed in the previously mentioned tutorial.
Help!! How do I open the file!?

Well, at least have a soundtrack for my misery now.

How to find a lost file in Microsoft Office Autorecovery

Hi - This isn't really a question, though it would have been a couple of hours ago.
After saving all his files, closing them and closing all apps, my husband rebooted his Mac Pro (Lion). When it restarted, his key Excel file wasn't there. There was no trace of it in Finder, and no trace in Time Machine. A search by Date Modified or File Name didn't show the file anywhere, either. It was like it had been sucked out of the computer and the Time Machine hard drive completely.
Cheering as that thought is, there is another answer.
Microsoft Office has an Autorecovery function that saves files when, for example, there's a power failure. These files are located on the home drive, in the Library (press Option when you click "GO" in the Finder command line at the top of the screen, otherwise Library is invisible). In Library, there is a folder called Application Support. In that folder are folders for a number of applications, one of which is Microsoft. In the Microsoft folder, there is a folder called Office. In that folder are a number of folders, one of which is Office 2011 AutoRecovery. Click that, and any files saved by the autorecovery function will appear.
Hierarchically:
     Finder
          Go
               Library
                    Application Support
                         Microsoft
                              Office
                                   Office 2011 AutoRecovery
The key thing to realize here is that a file which gets saved in Autorecovery DOES NOT appear in any searches by date modified, name of file, etc. It's as if it is hidden completely after being saved. When you turn the computer back on after a power failure, the file pops up and does say something about recovery, but if you're not looking for it, it's easy to miss. As long as you have the file open and keep saving, there's no problem - it's just that when you close it, it seems to have disappeared completely!
I found this information on the Microsoft help pages under a slightly different heading:
http://http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2650066#Method3
So for what it's worth, that's the story, and I hope it saves someone the sheer panic of not being able to find a file in Office.

I kept getting this error message when I was working in Word 2011 and searching for answers:
"This is not a valid file name. Try one or more of the following: Check the path to make sure it was typed correctly. Select a firle from the list of files and folders."
It started about 3 weeks ago. I was driving me bonkers. I found this posting that let me find the hieracy for the AutoRecovery files and reloacted them to Office 2011 >Office folder. I don't know how it got moved to another location (actually the file was in the trash when I found it. When I went to (Word>Preference>File Location>AutoRecovery) it showed the location of the file as being in the trash - Weird. I moved the file to Office and clicked Modify and the AutoRecovery link in Location showed the change that the file was now in Office. It seems that all is well again-at least for now.
According to some sources I found, I thought I was going to have to reload Word 2011. I did not have to go through that hassel. Thanks so much for the response given by margb that helped me solve this annoying issue.

I purchased Microsoft Office for Mac through the Apple website.. I have downloaded all from the disk into my Mac, no problem with all the other Word etc, but Outlook is asking for the key number: I have put it in but its obviously not the right one...????

In the box with the disk came the product key, have put it in and it doesnt work. Please help..x

unfortunately - you can not. you can't even buy outlook by itself at microsoft's own website.
does it have to be outlook? maybe you can get away with using something else that's outlook compatible.
how about trying Thunderbird for Mac OS?
or maybe you can call apple and let them know you purchase the wrong version - they might give you a break and just pay the difference for the home and business version.
good luck
