Hi,

Hypothetically speaking....
If someone were to download Microsoft for mac 2011 as a torrent, install it and then be prompted to enter a product key, where would they find this product key?

Thanks

Honestly, it's not that expensive. You can buy it for $69 per year, or $129 straight out (Canadian prices). If you want office for free, there are free alternatives.
