Question

install office mac 2011

Hi,

I have the 'office:mac2011 home & students' family pack for 3 users with a cd to install the application and still have the possibility to install it on one computer ( so far only installed on 2 macbook pro ).

The new computer we want to buy is the macbook pro with retina display which of course does not have the possibility to insert a cd.

I was wondering if here is a possibility to install (use my cd without of course inserting the cd) the application on the new mac.

Maybe there is a link where we have to give the product key and download without inserting the cd.

All information is welcome.

Regrds,

Mac Pro, iOS 5

Unfortunately, you cannot redownload Office 2011 for Mac if you purchased it in a DVD, but you have two possibilities to install Office on your new MacBook:

Get an external DVD drive (the fastest one), or;
Use Remote Disc if one of the other Macs have got a DVD drive.

Try using Remote Disc to install Office, although the installation may take a bit more than usual.
