I recently had my Macbook Pro repaired and it had to be wiped clean. I'm having trouble re-accessing my copy of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, which I purchased online back in 2012. I only have the 20-digit Product ID and they're asking for the 25-digit Product Key, so I can't activate MS Office.

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.

I've contacted Microsoft themselves but they haven't been successful at helping me because there's no Microsoft account attached to my purchase 😟. Does anyone know how I can get the product key using my product ID? Or anything else that can be done to help me out? 😕

Thanks!
