This is an old thread, but I ran into this issue and the way to fix it is as follows:
You have to be able to access the hard drive you migrated from.
Make sure all Office programs are closed.

- On the new hard drive/computer you migrated to, delete the following file:
- Go to the HD you had a working copy on, and copy that same file from the same location to the new HD.It should have an older date from when you installed it and activated it.

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 but it's encrypted so... good luck with that.

G/L trying to get a replacement from MS based on the Product ID. I just tried & they want to charge $40 for a replacement key (the product is still only good for 1 license)

In case anyone needs to do this in Office v15, the file has changed to
/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.office.licensingV2.plist

Where do I find my Office for Mac 2011 product key?
Once you have your product key, see Activate Office for Mac 2011.
When you install or reinstall Microsoft Office, you are prompted to enter the product key. The product key is used during installation to 'unlock' the software. If you can’t find your product key, it may be in one of these places:
Tip: If your copy of Office came with a PIN instead of a product key, go to https://www.microsoft.com/mac/getkey and enter your PIN to get your product key.
Where did you get Office? | Check here for your key... | Can't find it? |
---|---|---|
I downloaded Office from an online store. | The product key should be in your email receipt. If you didn’t get a receipt, check your junk mail folder. | Try logging into the site where you purchased Office to check your order details. If you still can’t find your product key, contact the seller to ask for the link or receipt to be resent. |
I downloaded it from MicrosoftStore.com. | Go to your Account page and click Digital Content. Or search your inbox for an email from @microsoftstore.com. | Check your Order History page for information on how to contact Support. |
I bought Office without a DVD at a physical store. | If Office came with a box or card, look on the card or packaging. This is a one-time PIN. If you have not used it, go to https://www.microsoft.com/mac/getkey and enter your PIN to get your product key. | If you used the PIN, your product key may have been stored on your account page. |
I bought a DVD at a physical store. | The 25 digit product key is on a yellow sticker on the inside of the DVD case. | If you misplaced your key before you redeemed it, you may need to purchase a replacement. |
MSDN | Find your product key by logging into the MSDN subscriber download site. | If you are having trouble accessing your product key, contact Microsoft Support. |
Home Use Program | If you’re in the Home Use Program, you’ll need a program code, not a product key. To get your program code, go to the Home Use Program, select your country/region, enter your work email address, and click Don’t Know Your Program Code? On the next page, click Verify Email. You can also try searching your inbox for a confirmation email from [email protected]. | If you are having trouble accessing your product key, contact Microsoft Support. |
