Installing Trial Version of Microsoft Office for Home and Student
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 |

Installing Trial Version of Microsoft Office for Home and Student
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. august06 wrote: A couple of months ago, I installed a trial version of microsoft Office. since that time the trial version has ended.

HELP I was informed in the instructions that it was a 60 day trial but that a person could do this 25 times before you wouldn't be allowed to download anymore free trials. |

I think you misunderstood whatever you read. Think about it:
A new version of Office is released every two to three years on average. If you were correct about being able to use the Office 2007 free trial software for six months, and then reinstall it and use it for six more months, and again for six more months, and 22 more times thereafter, that adds up to approximately 4.1 years of free trial period. Why would any business allow you to use their product for soooooo long without having to buy it, when the product would be superceded by one or more newer versions before the end of the trial period? august06 wrote: I was informed in the instructions that it was a 60 day trial but that a person could do this 25 times before you wouldn't be allowed to download anymore free trials. |
