microsoft office not activating on new mac

I recently got a new MacBook Air and used the migration assistant to move all of my files and information. When I go to use microsoft word or excel, it won't let me save my edits, saying i need to "activate" my Microsoft office. When I go to log-on, the cursor just spins and it won't take me anywhere. Has anyone else had this issue? I really don't want to have to purchase Office again.

If you have an old version of Microsoft Office you will have to update Office to be compatible with your new Mac. For licensing, activation, compatibility, and purchasing issue you'll have to contact Microsoft.
