Microsoft on Tuesday its new Office 2013 and Office 365 productivity software suites. Lost in the announcement, however, was what (if anything) those suites would mean to Mac users. Macworld spoke to Microsoft representatives to get some clarification.

Microsoft Office for Mac 2011 For starters, Office 2013 doesn’t mean anything to the Mac: it’s for Windows computers only. Office 365, on the other hand, does impact Mac users, but it doesn’t introduce any new features; rather, it’s essentially a new licensing model for Office for Mac. A subscription to Office 365 ($10 per month, or $100 per year) gives you the right to download Office software to up to five computers. For Mac users, what you'll download is Office for Mac 2011—it's pretty much the same version of the suite that we've been using for a couple of years now, but it's been updated to include activation for Office 365 Home Premium. Your subscription must be renewed monthly or annually in order to continue to use the software.
(A that runs on two computers is available for $80.) If you currently own Office for Mac 2011, you must uninstall that software when you sign up for Office 365. You will then download and install Office for Mac 2011 through your Office 365 account—again, on up to five Macs. Mac users who sign up for Office 365 will also get 20GB of SkyDrive storage (up from the 5GB that comes with a free account) and 60 minutes per month of Skype calls. One of the marquee new features of Office 365 is, a service that allows a PC without Word, Excel, or PowerPoint installed to run those programs via Internet streaming. But Office on Demand is a Windows-only feature; it remains to be seen whether it will be available to Mac users when the next version of Office for Mac is released. Word Web app Mac users do have an alternative to Office on Demand:, which have been available since 2010.
Accessible through a account, those apps let you create and edit Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PowerPoint presentations using Web-based versions of those apps, then save those documents to your SkyDrive or Mac. However, those Web apps aren’t as full-featured as the desktop versions; SkyDrive does provide the option to open a document directly in the desktop version of each program (provided that app is on your Mac). Unrelated to the Office 365/Office 2013 announcement, Microsoft released an on Tuesday.
The update provides several fixes to Outlook and PowerPoint. Editor's note: Updated on 1/29/13 at 7pm PT to clarify what the downloaded version of Office for Mac 2011 offers.
I had to restore my iMac from a Time Machine backup. Everything seemed fine until I tried to start Office 2011 and it is asking me to re-enter my product key. I am trying to locate my key (I believe I downloaded this version originally and it should be in my email but I can't find it) I tried a program that is supposed to 'find the keys for products installed on your computer' (Mac Product Key Finder) and it found my very old Office 2008 key, but not 2011. I am surprised that if I had a totally working install before recovering from back-up that this wasn't restored as well - do I have any options to find it hiding somewhere on my drive?

Note: The recovery was after a hard drive was replaced by the Apple store - if that makes a difference, so this is a new internal drive. This thread is a bit old, but in case someone else finds themselves looking for the answer, this just worked for me: To move / re-install your licensed copy of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac on a different computer / OSX installation, and re-authorize it without the license / serial / key available, copy the following from the old machine to the corresponding (same) spot on the new computer. Please note that you should be looking for these folders in the root directory of the drive on which OSX is installed- NOT in your user directory.
To get there, in the Finder click Go-Computer-name of the hard drive that has OSX installed.usually 'Macintosh HD'.then look for the following folders:. /Applications/Microsoft Office 2011 folder (copy the entire folder, with all its contents). /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper.plist. /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.microsoft.office.licensing.helper. /Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist From.
