I recently had my Macbook Pro repaired and it had to be wiped clean. I'm having trouble re-accessing my copy of Microsoft Office 2011 for Mac, which I purchased online back in 2012. I only have the 20-digit Product ID and they're asking for the 25-digit Product Key, so I can't activate MS Office.

Thanks!
