How to extend MS office business 2016 5 day trial

Hello,

When we normally download Office 365 we get a 30 day trial. We planned to install Office 2016 business across several computers ahead of the purchase of Office 365 E3 for each user. When we downloaded Office 2016 business and installed it it’s only giving us 5 days trial. How can we extend it to 30 days right after the install?

Where did you download it from? Have you assigned licenses to the users and have you activated it with an account assigned such license?

We downloaded it directly from Microsoft website no activation. We just need to download and install a 30 day trial which we’ll probably end up signing into it with new Office 365 at the end of this coming week.

Download the version from the O365 portal and use your O365 credentials to activate it. This will give you 30 days trial and a month of grace period after the trial expires.
I took this route and the solution they gave me was to create 10 accounts in order to install 50 computers.

Thank you!
Glad I was able to help.

Best regards,
