The iMac my wife was using had a video-card problem, so I took the machine out of service and extracted the SSD running OS 10.12.6 (Sierra). I figured I'd use the SSD as an external for my own iMac, as I need to update mine to 10.13.x (High Sierra), and Office:Mac2011 won't let me install on High Sierra. Her iMac was running it fine.
So I've got the SSD now attached (via USB) to my iMac, but when I boot from it, Office acts like it's a new computer, and wants the activation code—which for this old version never works.
Question: The SSD is now attached to my computer, not inside my wife's computer, but it's the same drive with the same OS and the Users and the same Applications. So why doesn't Office:Mac2011 behave just as before?
Color me puzzled.
