Rearn Office 2010 to extend the trial up to 180 days

                            

You all know that Microsoft Office 2010 is available for free trial for up to 30 days. Microsoft normally gives it’s all software for trial purpose for 30 days and also provides a reset feature to extend the trial up to 5 times such as the command line function “rearm” for Windows to extend the trial usage.

Now you can extend the trial of Office 2010 too up to 180 days by rearming the trial. Microsoft also confirmed this feature.

Run the program “ospprearm.exe” located at “”C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OfficeSoftwareProtectionPlatform”. By running the program anyone can use Microsoft Office 2010 up to 180 days without activation.

I have checked this method in RTM version of Office 2010 and working.
