Office 2010 and 2013: legally extend the test period

The free trial versions of Office 2010 and 2013 expire after 30 days. We reveal how you can legally extend the trial period.

Office Trial Extender extends the trial version for free

Microsoft offers a hidden option for Office 2010 and 2013 to extend the test phase to a maximum of 180 days. However, it is much more convenient with the freeware "Office 2010 Trial Extender", which automatically takes the necessary steps in the background.

• Copy the ZIP archive to your PC and unzip it. After starting the EXE file, click on "Rearm" to extend the test phase by 30 days.
• Repeat this a maximum of five times exactly after 30 days in order to extend the test time to up to 180 days.
