Sep 12, 2019 If you have a perpetual license, then you have to reinstall Microsoft Office 2016 on your old Mac. Then you can use Apple's migration assistant to bring the installation forward to your new Mac. It's the only way, as perpetual licenses are not transferable from one Mac to another. How to move your content to a new Mac - Apple Support. To transfer messages and other items from a Windows-based computer to a Mac, Outlook for Mac can import Outlook Data Files (.pst) that were created in Outlook for Windows. Transfer a.pst file from Windows to Mac. On the Outlook for Mac File menu, select Import.

I tried to do this with Migration Assistant (OS Lion to OS Lion) and it did not work. I called Microsoft, and they suggested various things, but in the end the following worked:


a) Make sure that there is NO copy of Office 2008 on the new computer. (Go into applications and get rid of the folder if it is there, and then empty your trash).


b) Go back to your old computer and copy the entire Microsoft Office 2008 folder (which you will find in Applications) onto a memory stick or portable hard disk (it is about 1.4 gigs), and then copy that folder into the Applications folder of your new computer.


c) Launch it on your new computer. It will take you through registration, etc, but it should work.


NOTE: Doing it this way works fine for everything but Entourage. This will not migrate some of your Entourage data, according to Microsoft.


NOTE 2: If the above does not work, erase all MS OFFICE 2008 files/folders from your new mac and create a new user profile and start again.

Migration Assistant copies all of your files from your old Mac to your new Mac so that you don't have to copy them manually.

  • If your files are currently on a PC, follow the PC migration steps instead.
  • If you're moving content from a Time Machine backup, follow the steps to restore your Mac from a backup instead.

Get ready

  1. Install all available software updates on both computers. If your old Mac isn't using OS X Lion or later, and your new Mac isn't using OS X Mavericks or later, follow the Mountain Lion migration steps instead.
  2. If both computers are using macOS Sierra or later, place them near each other with Wi-Fi turned on. If either one is using OS X El Capitan or earlier, make sure that both are on the same network.
  3. On your old Mac, choose Apple menu  > System Preferences, then click Sharing. Make sure that a name appears in the Computer Name field.

Use Migration Assistant

You're now ready to use Migration Assistant to move your files from the old Mac to the new one.

Transfer Microsoft Office To Another Mac

  1. Select the information to transfer.
    In this example, John Appleseed is a macOS user account. If it has the same name as an account already on your new Mac, you're prompted to either rename the old account or replace the one on your new Mac. If you rename, the old account will appear as a separate user on your new Mac, with a separate home folder and login. If you replace, the old account will delete and then replace the account on your new Mac, including everything in its home folder.
  2. Click Continue to start the transfer. Large transfers might need several hours to complete.
