    Last week I installed a 1T SSD as my boot drive (to improve performance), installed El Capitan, then migrated all files and apps to the new drive in my MacPro.  As expected my MS Office 2011 Home and Business would not run until I put in my product key.  If the product key will not work you will have to call them.  Once before this happened to me and the MS tech said I did have any more user licenses on my account.  He agreed that a failed HD doesn't count and reestablished my licenses.

     

    Side note: If you are using OS X 10.6.6 (this is a 10.11 community) upgrade to 10.6.8 (the latest).  I still consider your OS to be the best one Apple created and have it installed on a partition to run some older expensive CAD software.
