Click on the desktop or make sure your Mac menu is on “Finder”ĭouble-click your hard disk icon. Take this process slowly, move through each file one at a time, not missing anything. I should note too, these files and folders are named in very similar ways. Update: Also, some of these folders are hidden, to show them in Finder on MacOS Sierra and above, use the key combination of CMD + SHIFT +. If you don’t have one (as shown in the photo below), there is no need to worry. I’ll take you through the dead simple step-by-step process of how to do this.īriefly: With this process, you’ll be able to effectively transfer a valid, activated license from one OS X computer to another. 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. 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. But, you don’t have Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 installed on the new computer. So, you have a new Mac with OSX and you’re excited to use it.
