Office 2011 asks for product key after upgrading to SSD Superduper

MS-Office has detected that the HDD has been upgraded to a SSD and is now read only until the Product Key is entered. **Is the product key in one of the files, which can be read?** **How can the product key be recovered from the existing drive?** OSX: El Capitan 10.11.6 Office 2011 This question is slightly different from: How can I recover my MS Office 2011 product key? in the sense that I am seeking to pull the key from the existing system files or database. I have tried the .plist solution, however, the activation problem persists: not sure why copying the .plist file to the SSD a second time would work, when Superduper copied it over along with a .lock file. This question is slightly different from: How can I find the product key of Office 2011 after restoring from backup? 1. Device is Macbook Pro and not a iMac 2. Hard drive is not recovered (ghosted via SuperDuper) Any techniques to extract the product key is appreciated. The laptop was purchased second hand and had office installed / activated on the original HDD. Office must check to see if drive has been changed.
