Hi All! I need help with activating my copy of Office 2011 on my iMac. I lost the DVD sleeve containing the product key, but have the box and the DVD itself.
This page will allow you to download and reinstall Office for the following products: Office 2010; Office for Mac 2011; Note that support for Office 2007 has ended. Depending on where you bought Office 2011, you can retrieve the product key from Microsoft using the instructions on their website. If this doesn't work for you (ie. You probably don't own a legitimate copy of the program) I'm afraid you're out of luck, I believe the licensing information may be stored in the com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist file which is located in /library/preferences.
Microsoft Office For Mac 2011 Product Key Free
Is there any way to extract the product key from the current working copy I have installed on my MacBook? I know that on Windows, theres a way to find the Product Key in the registry....but the .plist is encrypted on the Mac version and I can't decypher it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! I'd hate to have to drop $100+ on a new copy just for losing the dang paper sleeve...
