Hey everyone! I am installing a new hard drive into my macbook and would like to use my existing Microsoft Office 2004 but I lost the install CD's and keys when I moved.. Is there any way to save these programs to install into my new HD so that I don't have to buy another microsoft office 2004??? Thanks
Hi Charles: If you use the Mac OS X utility to transfer your entire system from one disk to the other, your copy of Office should come across with its installation key intact. You have to bring the entire system over as an exact copy: if anything changes (user IDs, passwords, anything at all...) Mac Office will detect a new installation and request the key.
