Depending on where you bought Office 2011, you can retrieve the product key from Microsoft using the instructions on their website. If this doesn't work for you (ie. You probably don't own a legitimate copy of the program) I'm afraid you're out of luck, I believe the licensing information may be stored in the com.microsoft.office.licensing.plist file which is located in /library/preferences. I have the Product ID and need the Product Key.I purchased MS Office 2011 for Mac from my college store on a student discount back in 2012, and only downloaded it. I called the college but they're unfortunately no help in recovering the product key, especially since I graduated 2 years ago. Office for Mac 2011, however, switched to a single activation code and to an install-based licensing plan, effectively halving the number of Macs on which a customer can install the program. Unless you can locate your Product Key the only option is to see whether you can obtain a new copy of Office 2011 from an online or retail vendor. If still available it should be quite reasonably priced. Be wary of any offers for used copies - If they don't include the Product Key or if the Key still is in use on another Mac you will have.

In a previous tutorial I mentioned the steps required to download Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows 10 legally from Microsoft by using the Media Creation Tool that offered from Microsoft.
Recently I discovered a new amazing tool that is called Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool from HeiDoc.net, that can help users to download easy, an original copy of almost any Windows or Office version (Edition & Language), in a ISO file (disk image), directly from Microsoft Servers, without a product key.
Microsoft Windows and Office ISO Download Tool can be used to download genuine Windows 7 , Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 disk images (ISO), as well as Office 2007, Office 2010 and MAC Office 2011 (for MAC computers) disk images (ISO) directly from Microsoft's servers. Also the tool contains the links to download Office 2013 & Office 2016 Retail editions in IMG format. The big advantage of this tool is that it does not require a product key for the download.
