Micromat's TechTool Pro 8.03 is out in Beta right now. I have it and everything works fine in El Cap, I'm currently running 10.11.1, PB2. Hold on, the final 8.03 release will be coming soon and it will be a free upgrade from 8.0.2.

How many times do you need to ask the same question? See your previous thread for answers:

EDIT: BTW, review forum rules.

Why not just using them on limited machines? Or buy a subscription? Or simply buy a few more licenses?Yes, it's working fine for me. Some folks have had trouble with Outlook. My only issue with MS is their arcane initialization system. I've been using Office 2011 since it's release. I have the Home & Business Edition and it allows me 2 licenses for 2 machines. I have an MBA with an Internal and external drive a cMP with 7 drives, 5 of them with OS's and Office installed. Obviously I can only use one at a time. Reactivating takes a lot of time and effort over the phone. On the last call they told me that over the years I've activated it 11 times which is probably true. They also said I wouldn't be allowed anymore activations. This of course blew my mindI do not have this issue with any other software house.

Accounts that sync (Exchange & IMAP) are not syncing. POP accounts work in Office 2011 with El Capitan.

You can download the trial and use Outlook 2016 for 30 days. Hopefully, Microsoft will have a fix before you have to purchase to continue using. Home version does not include Outlook. Download the Business version. Good luck finding the trial link.
Setup your Exchange and/or IMAP account in Apple Mail and use it until fix.
Use OWA (Outlook Web Access) to view your Exchange account.
Revert to Yosemite....This is Microsoft solution.

You don't really understand. I own licenses for two machines, and I use MS Office on two machines. No More - No Less!
Don't know what you mean by limited machines? And why should I buy more licenses for something that I have already paid for? And as far a subscriptions goes, I refuse to rent software! Either I own it or I don't. For me, renting is out of the question.
We know Office 2016 is out, but there appear to be issues. And Office 2011 does what I want it to. I'm not sure I need to upgrade because I'm happy with Office 2011, outside of the activation issue. Office 2011 has no compatibility issues out side of Outlook 2011 connecting to servers.

Thanks.. I will wait till Outlook 2011 is compatible with EL Captain so for the moment its Yosemite.
Lol mackeeper.
Weren't they forced earlier his year in the spring to refund everyone who had paid for it? Because it's a total scam app.

...and will you tell us what you like about mackeeper? you do understand that it's a questionable, despised app?

Same here, I went through that same circus with Microsoft too, after multiple calls, over three hours wasted I was still stuck with my fully paid for Office 2011 not activated on a primary system. Two minutes on the web problem solved...
FWIW Microsoft initially told me their system was, down, then pointed me to an automated system which has you inputting a ridiculous 48 character key delivered by voice over the phone, which needless to say did not work after 3 attempts, then points you back to more people in a call centre based in Asia that are once again unable to help. who needs this BS when on a job in Borneo, equally at no time had I ever had more than two instances of Office 2011 installed. Even Microsoft`s "staff" were not able to explain why the activation "flipped" being only just barely capable of reading off the screen "parrot fashion"
Bottom line I won't be even considering Office 2016, as long as I can maintain Office 2011, preferably I can ditch the whole mess. To me blocking activations of Office 2011 is akin to "ransomware" as MS know people are "locked into" Office, therefore effectively forcing you to pay for Office 2016...
Q-6
I have never had a problem with the app. The only thing I will say is that their customer service/tech support is terrible. Thats really my only complaint. For example I contacted them to ask about the EL Captain upgrade and I got a response with bad grammar.
People must have had a bad install or some other problem that I have not experienced.
It sure runs allot better than some other Mac AntiVirus software from the past.

But we all know that MacKeeper helps keep the Mac's registry clean. (wink, wink)
I have office 2011 on my Mac Mini with no problems at all. Except for the massive updates it seems to like doing every month or so.
