Microsoft introduced Activation with Office 2011. Since Office 2011 was first released, Office365 subscription service was added. The retail copy of Office for Mac and the Office365 Subscription service use different activation processes. The number of installs also differs. The retail version will depend on what version you purchased (one or two computer install, or family pack that installs on 3 computers).. The Office365 Subscription service will install on 5 computers. What is Activation? Activation is a new feature in Office Mac 2011. After you activate the software product, a specific product key is assigned to the computer hardware on which you installed the product. If you get a new drive or a new computer, you will need to activate again. If you use Migration or Time Machine to move your data to a new drive you will still need to activate Office. Product Activation is required to use the product. If you choose to click on the Activate Later button, the product will run for a limited time. When launching an application it will remind you to activate. If you choose to not to Activate, the product will not launch and the following message will be displayed “You must activate your copy of Office for Mac before you can use it.” How many times can I activate the product? There is no limit to the number of times that you can activate the software product on the same computer. You may reassign the license to a different device any number of times, but not more than one time every 90 days.
