Procedure to Upgrade SSD without borking-up MS-Office License I have upgraded a Macbook 500GB to a 128GB SSD.  MS-Office 2011 detected the change and the licensing failed.  I would like to avoid this problem in the future if at all possible.

I would like to upgrade a 128GB Macbook air to 1TB: is it possible to create a 128GB partition to let Office think that it is on a 128GB drive and not bork-up the license?  If yes, how is it this done?

I am seeking to avoid dealing with licensing keys if at all possible and simply upgrade the SSD
Don’t think so. I’m guessing MS makes a signature of your h/w. If you replace or add parts, your changing the signature. Hence the problems. 

You should be able to reactivate your license.
