I tried to do this with Migration Assistant (OS Lion to OS Lion) and it did not work. I called Microsoft, and they suggested various things, but in the end the following worked:
a) Make sure that there is NO copy of Office 2008 on the new computer. (Go into applications and get rid of the folder if it is there, and then empty your trash).
b) Go back to your old computer and copy the entire Microsoft Office 2008 folder (which you will find in Applications) onto a memory stick or portable hard disk (it is about 1.4 gigs), and then copy that folder into the Applications folder of your new computer.
- Open Microsoft Office documents on your Mac On your Mac, you can use the Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps to open documents created with Microsoft Office. Use Pages to open Microsoft Word documents. Use Numbers to open Microsoft Excel documents.
- Apple isn't trying to replace the full-blown Microsoft Office suite. They are trying to fill in the void between Microsoft Office and freeware solutions like LibreOffice. Likewise Apple's iWork suite largely fulfills this goal in the same way that Photos, iMovie, GarageBand (a.k.a. 'iLife') are a well-integrated suite of free multimedia tools.
- Unlock the full Microsoft Office experience with a qualifying Microsoft 365 subscription for your phone, tablet, PC, and Mac. Microsoft 365 annual subscriptions purchased from the app will be charged to your App Store account and will automatically renew within 24 hours prior to the end of the current subscription period unless auto-renewal is.
Microsoft is making its Office suite available on Appleās Mac App Store today. The software giant originally promised to bring Office apps to the Mac App Store by the end of 2018, and after a short.
c) Launch it on your new computer. It will take you through registration, etc, but it should work.
NOTE: Doing it this way works fine for everything but Entourage. Apple logic pro 10. What is the latest mac software. This will not migrate some of your Entourage data, according to Microsoft.

NOTE 2: If the above does not work, erase all MS OFFICE 2008 files/folders from your new mac and create a new user profile and start again.
