How to Extend trial period of Office 2010 for Free for 6 Months


After installing Office 2010, user will have initial 30 days of free evaluation period before having to activate the product for lifetime continuous usage. To extend the evaluation period you have to rearm the Office 2010. 
In order to rearm Office 2010, just run the OSPPREARM command located at the following folder:
%Program Files%\Common Files\microsoft shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\
For example, Go to Command Prompt window and run the following command :
C:\Program Files\Common Files\microsoft shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform\OSPPREARM.EXE



Note: Change the path if necessary, as you might install the office in the different drive.A total of 5 rearms is possible, where after reset, additional 30 days of free usage is allowed without proper activation. When timed correctly to rearm Office 2010 at last day of current cycle’s expiration days, the 5 rearms can extend and prolong the free usage of Office 2010 to six months.

Hope you feel this information useful. Kindly leave the comments accordingly.
