MacBook Pro hard drive failure. Replaced it. Office programs dont function. Office:mac requests serial # How do we obtain old serial number from Microsoft.
Click "O" but Outlook does not open - the icon appears for a mili-second as normal but nothing happens. Other Office  programs W, P, and X all work fine. Running 2011, installed latest updates to 14.2.5 successfully without any issue, but still nothing. I presume installing the update would be like doing a re-install from discs. Reluctant to do full reinstallation in case I lose all my mail. Any suggestions please. Urgent!! Thanks (by the way, I installed an Apple Time Machine and did a full backup yesterday but used Outlook after this was done)

My MacBook air with2011 office home & buisiness suddely got stuck while writing a mail after after a "alt+cmd+ off switch" restart all office programs runs as usual but the outlook program wont start. While clicking the Icon the program starts and then shuts down. UNfortunatly I havent connected this to the TIME MACHINE so

I am basically stuck here. - So please let me know what can be done to start the outlook program running again
