Porting installed Office programs to new hard drive

Ok, so I recently installed an SSD into my system (thread here: http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2443242) and I had MS office installed on my old primary HD. Now that I did a clean install, I have my MS office suite on my old HD and the system isn't recognizing it. Both my old OS and MS Office installs were from technet keys from 2008 and I don't think I have them anymore. Is there any way to make the system recognize the old install of MS office? Or do I have to upgrade to Office 365? Any help is appreciated!
 
It probably has a bunch of registry entries that aren't in your new install. I'd try to extract the keys from the old install, then reinstall on the new drive.
