  • Feb 16, 2012 My MS Office that came with my computer deactivated itself. I know the file where the product key is located but the program won't allow me access as administrator to re-install the key code. It happened last year and the manufacturer of the computer helped me through it. I haven't been able to contact him this time.
  • The August release of Office for Mac is available for manual download. The following file provides a 64-bit package to replace existing 32-bit applications with 64-bit variants during installation: Download the Microsoft Office 2016 for Mac August update package now. Virus-scan claim.
