How can I transfer my Microsoft Office Install to another Mac? [duplicate]

You can try to move the main folders to an external drive:

  • /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011
  • /Applications/Microsoft Messenger.app
  • /Applications/Microsoft Communicator.app
  • /Library/Application Support/Microsoft

  • /Users/username/Library/Preferences/Microsoft

  • /username/Documents/Microsoft-Userdata

Copy these Folders to the same path on your new system.


moving it to a USB will most likely not work, however if you've got the license key you can go on the office website http://www.microsoft.com/mac/downloads and download the installer.
