Hi, If you downloaded Office 2011 for Mac, you may not need a product key to activate it. Office 365 uses a new mechanism that the activation is based on your Office 365 Account instead of a product key.

Hi and welcome. May I assume that when you say the key is hidden somewhere in your files, that you have transferred your files from the old Mac to the new (eg Time Machine, cloning software, Migration Assistant or via EHD)? And here again, may I assume you are talking about Microsoft Office for Mac? If that's the case, then it's a question of searching for the Key. Although Spotlight might do this, a better, and free, option is to download 'Find Any File', an app developed by Templeman. You can do all sorts of clever searches with it.

But at the end of the day, unless you find the Key.no deal from Microsoft. Another thought occurred to me: if your old Mac was 6 years old, it probably ran a very early version of Office for Mac.

Your spanking new Mac will be running El Capitan. It is possible that you could be better off with a later, or latest, version of Office?? (2011, 2016, Subscription 365) Ian. @gotwicks: The is something you can try. If I remember correctly, it works with Office 2008 but I do not know if it works with Office 2011 or 2016. The product key in Office 2008 was encoded in a plist file.

I'm not sure how Office 2011 and 2016 encodes the key but since it can detect a change in hardware and must be activated again, it's possible the key is not stored anywhere on your hard drive. Anyway, the Product Key Finder is worth a try. I believe they have a free version in addition to the pay one. Just found this.

Might be worth a try, if you can access your old HDD. To move / re-install your licensed copy of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on a different computer / OSX installation, and re-authorize it without the license / serial / key available, copy the following from the old machine to the corresponding (same) spot on the new computer. Please note that you should be looking for these folders in the root directory of the drive on which OSX is installed-- NOT in your user directory. To get there, in the Finder click Go-->Computer-->[name of the hard drive that has OSX installed.usually 'Macintosh HD'].then look for the following folders: /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011 folder (copy the entire folder, with all its contents) /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper.plist /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist.
