Adobe are even worse, if you forget to deactivate your originally installation first they can refuse to let you activate the new install. Of course if your computer gets stolen or dies how are you supposed to do this? Apple as a user-centric fast follower: the Apple Mac story It is well known that the Graphical User Interface (GUI) and other key personal computing. On the Go menu, click Computer Double-click your hard disk icon. Click on the desktop or make sure your Mac menu is on Finder 3.
Install your copy of Office 2011 on the new Mac computer 2.
Adobe are even worse, if you forget to deactivate your originally installation first they can refuse to let you activate the new install. Drag .plist to an external hard disk or USB key. Your only recourse is to either go back to the original drive in the original Mac, or re-enter the serial number which will then be re-verified against Microsoft's product activation servers and then re-encoded and stored on your Mac including the encoded values for the Mac serial number and volume UUID. Office 2008 used to merely check for a valid ist file in /Applications/Microsoft Office 2008/Office/ist and that it contained a valid serial number and did not check this against the hardware for changes.
You would have the same problem if you put the original unaltered drive in to a different Mac because then even though the volume UUID would be unchanged the serial number of the Mac logic board would be different. As you have restored it to a different drive that volume has a different UUID and hence the license file that was restored does not match your previous configuration. In this case it not only checks the serial number of the Mac, but also the Volume UUID of the volume it is being installed on. Office 2011 is a lot more sneaky about how it verifies the license.
