Microsoft Product Registration on new MacBook Pro

Greetings,
I recently recieved a new MacBook Pro, over the weekend I had Apple do the data transfer to get all my apps and files transfered onto my new Macbook. However, I'm confused when it comes to Microsoft Office. I have the app on my new MacBook, but it hasn't asked me for my Product Key number. Did all of that information get transfered over to the new Macbook as well?
I noticed the same thing when it came to my CS5 Photoshop program as well, but just as an added precaution, I still un-registered Photoshop from my old Macbook.

Some applications keep their information, so the apps are registered after migrating from the old MacBook

    Use a product such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, iWork, or Microsoft Office 2008 or newer. In the case of Word documents, you can also use TextEdit.

  • How can I transfer older Microsoft Office docs to my new macbook pro?

    Hi... I had an older macbook pro OS X (10.5.8). The mother board went on it but I was able to transfer all of my files to a passport hard drive. My new, 2013, macbook pro does not accept Microsoft Office apps. Any thoughts... ?
    Thanks, Russell

    Your new MacBook Pro supports Microsoft Office. The problem is that it only supports Office 2008 and 2011, because Office 2004 and older are PowerPC apps.
    Now, if you really need to work with Office documents and you need the highest number of features possible, go for Office 2011 > http://www.microsoft.com/mac
    However, if you have basic needs, I recommend you to install LibreOffice. It's free and open-source, and it works with Office files without any problem

  • I transferred/migrated my files from my old 08 macbook 13" notebook to my new Macbook pro and now my Adobe programs and Microsoft for mac are not working. do I have to reinstall the programs?

    I have recently purchased a new macbook pro, I had a macbook 13" notebook from 2008 and I trasnferred all of my files using the migration assistant. It said the transfer was completed and everything looked fine. but when I try to open my CS4 photoshop, illustrator, indesign or my microsoft for mac programs they crash. did the files not transfer correctly? do I have to reinstall them? do I need to wipe my mac and start again to clean out all of the transferred files?

    If you still have your old MacBook, You can put the software installers in and image the discs using isk Utility and then copy them to your new MacBook Pro via a flash drive and install them from the disc images.
    Another option is that you can connect it to your new mac in target Disk mode.  Then you can use the DVD drive that is in the MacBook to install  the software.  To do  this you would need a firewire cable plugged into your old MacBook and connect that to a Firewire to Thunderbolt adaptor that is connected to your new MacBook Pro.

  • HT201364 trying to download os x mavericks and i get an error saying "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed." how do i fix this so i can update my new macbook pro?

    "The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed."
    please help! i want to update my computer!!!

    "Update your new MacBook Pro"?
    Well, if your MacBook Pro is new, it already has Mavericks installed and there is nothing to update.
    Go to the Menu Bar, and click the Apple logo.  Then click "About This Mac."  Does it show OS X 10.9 or 10.9.1?
    If so you are already running Mavericks.

  • I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    I installed indesign CS5 on new macbook pro and keeps freezing with spinning wheel once the app opens. Is there an issue with OS Mav or font issue or a plist I can pull. All other Adobe products work.

    Migration should never be done with any Adobe program.
    If you have done Migration, you have to UNINSTALL first (if even possible) and then download Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool and run that also. When this is done, restart your computer and install the programs from an original Adobe Installer.
    Other question is, if your OS is supporting that version. You can try it, it is not officially supported, but it might work.
    But CC will work, upgrade to CC2014 (without additional cost), use that as it is better anyway.

  • 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.

    Thanks.
    I'm reluctant to wade into this but I noticed that if Mactracker is to be believed, the Early and Late MacBook Pro have the same Model Identifier, which would suggest that the SL installer for the Early MBP might see the Late MBP, which came with Lion, as close enough for government work. While the SL installer wouldn't necessarily be 100% suitable for the Lion Machine and probably wouldn't allow installing over the existing Lion partition, I can imagine it working on a clean partition or external USB or Firewire drive. A 10.6.8 combo updater could then configure the SL installation for the MBP it's actually on.

  • New macbook Pro setback for Audio Production.

    the new macbook pro don't come with a Firewire 400 port anymore.
    everybody knows that usb is too slow for audio transfer and Firewire 800 is usual.
    audio interfaces that use firewire 400 can't be used and with only one firewire 800 port there's no room left 'cause we need that to connect the external drives with audio files.
    most interfaces need to be connected directly to the computer.
    Any Ideas????

    I, too, have an issue with the port configuration on MBPs -- too many USB2.0 ports, not enough FW800 ports. Nevertheless, please note that:
    1. Bilingual FW800 FW400 cables (really good ones) are available for less than $20.
    2. You can daisy chain external FW HDDs (even heterogeneously, i.e. you can cable your computer to a FW800 device using a FW800 cable and then use a FW400 cable to connect the first drive to a FW400 HDD, etc.). This capability is dependent on having redundant or multi-protocol drive enclosures (that is, you will need drives that have at least two FW ports, such as two FW800 ports or a FW800 port plus a FW400 port, not just a single USB2.0 port).
    3. You can go hog wild and purchase a full-on FW800 hub/repeater like the NitroAV Professional Firewire/1394b 8-Port device (google it). I use this device to connect five external HDDs to my MBP (four FW800 drives and one FW400 drive). This hub will set you back $150 -- not trivial, but an elegant solution if you use multiple drives, and it comes with the AC power adapter (believe it or not, some hub manufacturers require you to purchase the AC adapter separately). In my configuration, six ports are used -- five for the drives and the sixth to connect the MBP via a FW800 cable. The hub has the additional advantage of eliminating several of the cables that would otherwise connect directly to my computer, which is, after all, a laptop; the fewer things I have to connect/disconnect when I move my MBP around, the better. You can think of this as a do-it yourself version of the docking station that Apple forgot to give us, at least as far as drive connectivity is concerned!
    As an aside, my MBP (see model notes below) does in fact have both a FW800 and a FW400 port. I wish Apple configured unibody MBPs to include two USB2.0 ports and two FW800 ports -- but the above tips make the world right.
    Finally, I just don't get the gripe about cabling costs. The unibody MBPs are high end laptops -- most purchasers will have invested well over $3K in their machines. There are a thousand usage patterns; I would much rather buy what I need for my applications without incurring the expense of purchasing bundled stuff that I don't need and which winds up in a (bursting at the seams) cable/doodad drawer.

  • Can I transfer Microsoft Office from my Macbook Pro (2008) to my new Macbook Pro (Retina Display)?

    Hi guys,
    So I recently decided to upgrade to a newer model of my Macbook. As we all know, Apple have had to remove the CD/DVD drive in order to make the new models thinner and lighter, and so now I can't install Microsoft Office 2011 from the disk that was used to install it onto my old Macbook.
    I don't particluarly want to part with any money for a USB to CD/DVD drive, and so I was wondering if there was a way of simply copying or moving the old microsoft office onto my new macbook?
    Thanks in advance

    There are basically two choices; but first you must remove Office from your old Mac (be sure to do that first).   This is important because you need to remove the license file and other stuff in order to be able to reuse your license on your new Mac.   Then, you can do either of the following:
    Get an external Superdrive and install Office on your new Mac, using the Office install DVD.  I suggest this is the better alternative.
    Download Office 2011 from Microsoft and install online
