60-day "FREE" trial of Microsoft Publisher? Is it really free?

Question

They're givng a 60 day "free" trial and i dunno about that cause nowadays nothing is free and it's talking giving my address and phone number soo is it 100% free without catches? What exactly is a "60-days free trial"? how do i cancel it then? Thanks i need this so badly

Answer 1

I'm not 100% sure about this, but I'd wager that entering your name, address & other particulars is optional. But even if it isn't, Microsoft would likely only use the information to send you its own junkmail. Microsoft has a pretty good (IMHO) reputation concerning observances of personal privacy. After 60-days, I'd expect that the software would "time-bomb" or cease working, and either prompt you for additional validation or suggest upgrading to a fully-licensed retail version. I've never heard of Microsoft somehow forcing anyone to buy something after a trial period expiry....

Answer 2

Yes, it's 60-days 100% free with no catches. Make sure you're getting the trial from Microsoft, they will ask you to register. After 60 days it just won't work, they won't force you to buy it, and you can uninstall it.

Answer 3

Why would you want a 60-day free trial of Microsoft Publisher? Has someone sent you a Publisher file you can't open otherwise?



If you're looking for a desktop publishing program and can afford to pay for one, use InDesign. If you can't afford that, use Scribus.



InDesign (industry standard, amazing program, costly)

Scribus (good program, not great, but free)

Publisher (bad program, costly)



It's a no-brainer. Use InDesign or Scribus. Publisher shouldn't even figure into the equation. Do you know Publisher can't even export to PDF?

Answer 4

Microsoft give you free 60 day trials of the Microsoft Office Suite, yes I have done this and they do not charge you a cent.

Answer 5

Yes, it is absolutely FREE!!! Trial means to test a program to see if you like it. For every shareware (paid) stuff, there is always a trial. Some trial have limitations to them eg an antivirus may only allow you to remove 2 viruses.

Answer 6

it should be free on microsoft.com for the trial period and they shouldnt ask for a creditcard if they do it isnt a authentic download from microsoft office. after the trial ends just go to your control panel and uninstall the trial

Answer 7

I never believe anyone who "needs" something badly but then refuses to pay any amount of money.
