REINSTALLING MICROSOFT OFFICE 2011 FOR MAC
Update – 5-27-2015: The Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 14.5.1 Update has the same license-removing issue as 14.5.0. See below the jump for an an example using an Office 2011 SP 4 installer package, the Office 2011 14.5.0 Update, and the .plist license file to build a unified Office 2011 14.5.0 installer package that does not prompt for a product key. To address this issue, you can use Packages’ ability to add resources to a Packages-built package. If you have a volume-licensed version of Office 2011 installed on your Mac, you should have this file. The needed file is /Library/Preferences/.plist. The easiest fix I’ve found in my testing is to get the necessary volume license file from a machine that has Office 14.4.x installed on it and put it back on an as-needed basis. These two scenarios will likely apply if you’re building a new machine using an automated deployment tool, but likely will not if you’re a home user.

This is a problem that I’ve seen before with previous Microsoft Office 2011 installers and usually involves the license file not being applied when it should be. Since my work has a volume license, this isn’t a screen I should ever see. When I installed the combined Office 2011 installer with DeployStudio, then logged in, I was asked to enter a product key. I have an existing process to build a combined Office 2011 installer using Packages, which I’ve used successfully for a while.

After you've created your install disk, you can use it, along with your product code, to install the app.One of the issues I worked on this week was building a new Office 2011 installer after Microsoft released the Office 2011 14.5.0 update. Once you have an ISO file, you can use the Windows USB/DVD Download tool (opens in new tab) to "burn" it to a flash drive or disc.
