Mojave and MS Office 2011

MS Office (Excel & Word) 2011 stopped working. This may have happened after update to Mojave. MS is forcing new Office365 subscription to continue. May be able to get around this if can locate original MS Office Program Key. If successful, will there still be a problem with Mojave not being compatible with MS Office 2011? Other alternatives may be to either return to High Sierra, or breakdown and purchase a new Office365 subscription.


Has anyone been able to use MS Office 2011 with Mojave? Any problems?

iMac 21.5", macOS 10.14

Microsoft never tested Office 2011 for Mac with either High Sierra or Mojave, and Microsoft retired the product in Oct 2017. The current Office365, Office 2016 for Mac, and Office 2019 for Mac are the only supported, 64-bit Office products on Sierra, High Sierra, and Mojave.


Neither Microsoft, nor Apple are going to help you with any Mojave issues that develop with Office 2011 for Mac.

As far as I know in most countries Office for Mac 2016 is available as a one-off purchase if you don't want to rent 365. If you only have the one Mac, spending $150 (for the home version without Outlook) is better than a “forever” 365 subscription. Even if 2011 did work you would not get security updates. It’s unsupported.

I don't think Microsoft would even be up for Customer Service being that support has ended for MS Office 2011, way-back-when. Thing is, contact the Developer of the Software, whomever it is, if you need to get the 64-bit version in exchange for whatever software you have.
