Upgrade office 2011 to 2016 mac5/18/2023 ![]() This link from Microsoft tells you how to clear out those older registration files. If you have 1809 then you have all Offie 2019 features already. ![]() ![]() Ramhound at 4:26 It is not clear which version you have installed. You can do the by running the update from within Word (simplest way). In that case, you have to get rid of the Office registration files that remember what the original hardware was, and then reinstall, and then enter your Product Key, and then– finally!– do the “Activate by Phone” method. The first thing you need to do is install the current version of Word (1809). Customers using earlier versions of Office may need to download and install a compatibility pack. For example, if you decide to replace your hard drive with something better– I like the Solid State Drives (SSDs) from Crucial-– you’ll be asked to activate Office 2011, and in that case, you’ll never be able to… because each installation of Office is “keyed” to the hardware it’s originally installed on, and that includes the hard drive, and the Activation ID and Confirmation ID will only work on that particular configuration. Microsoft 365, Office 2021, Office 2019, Office 2016, Office 2013, Office 2010, Office 2007, Office for Mac 2011, and Office for Mac 2008 applications can open your documents without any additional action. The reason for this could be that you’ve moved Office 2011 for the Mac to a new machine, or to a new hard drive, by cloning the drive. There’s a chance that things still won’t work. That will get you started down the right path. Another option: call Microsoft’s general support number (1-80) and say “Office for Mac Activation Department” to the robot that answers.
