Download and Use Microsoft Office 2010 Free for 6 Months Without Activation

You might be already knowing that Microsoft Office 2010 can be downloaded for free but it comes with a 30-day trial.

But what if you want to extend the trial period? Rearming is the answer!

Rearming is a simple method to extend the trial of Microsoft Windows and Microsoft Office up to one month. Previously we had used the same method to extend and use Windows 7 free for 4 months.
