Microsoft Office 2011 update

I also had to enter my product code when I updated recently to 4.5.1. I have updated in the past and had not been asked.

The only time that should happen is if the activation wizard detects a hardware change. It then assumes you're using different hardware, thus, it asks for the product code again. (It does the same thing in Windows) I had that happen on my test clone where I'm currently running the Office 2016 Preview alongside a copy of 2011.

Okay, I could see that with my Mac Pro. I added a second video card. But I had to enter it when I installed a new SSD boot drive and used CCC to reinstall. I didn't find that strange though.

But I had to do the same thing on my MB Air too. No big deal but strange.

I can understand that too if you have the 3X install version of Office 2011.

If you mean did I get the one that is for 3 macs - family pac, the answer is yes.

I have that same 3X family pack but since I sold my older MacBook and gave my other iMac to my college going grand daughter, I'm only using one serial number install. Probably why I wasn't asked this last update.
