Softwarepro World Moving Microsoft Office To New Mac

So, you have a new Mac with OSX and you’re excited to use it. But, you don’t have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 installed on the new computer. You can find the installation disk, but how do you move the license? Believe it or not, it is actually possible to transfer Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac’s license from one machine to another – and it’s just a matter of copying a few files. So far this process has worked on every computer I have tested it on, please let me know (in the comments) if this works for you too. I’ll take you through the dead simple step-by-step process of how to do this.

Briefly: With this process, you’ll be able to effectively transfer a valid, activated license from one OS X computer to another.
Update: It appears as though .lockfiles mentioned are purely optional. If you don’t have one (as shown in the photo below), there is no need to worry. This process works the same.
Update: Also, some of these folders are hidden, to shown them in finder on MacOS Sierra and above, use the key combination of CMD + SHIFT + .

I should note too, these files and folders are named in very similar ways. It’s easy to get tripped up. Take this process slow, move through each file one at a time, not missing anything.

On the OLD Mac:

Aug 03, 2016 Microsoft released an early 64-bit version of its Office for Mac suite. Here's what it offers, and how to access 64-bit Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and Outlook for Mac. In early 2011 I bought Office for the Mac 2011 Home & Business. At the same time I bought an iMac and a MacBook Air. Office for the Mac was installed on both Mac computers. Last week, because my MacBook Air’s (MBA) HD was full I bought a new MBA and migrated everything on my old MBA to my new MBA from using Time Machine.
