You only get to install the free trial software once. When the trial
period ends, you cannot indefinitely continue to use the free trial
software by repeatedly reinstalling it. You've had a chance to try the
software. If you like it, buy it. If you don't like it, then don't use
it anymore and uninstall it.

A couple of months ago, I installed a trial version of microsoft Office.
since that time the trial version has ended. Day before yesterday I
downloaded another trial version of Microsoft Office. After entering the
product key that I was sent and going through the conversion process, the
program directs me to close all microsoft applications and restart the
computer. It tells me that when I do this, I will have to reenter the product
code and then the application will be usable. I done this over and over
again, but the program will not let me use any applications. I can't even
type a document . HELP
