    Hi,
    I am planning to ship a Windows 10 LTSC Enterprise ISO with an Office suite ( Setupcomplete.cmd ) & without any activation method. I would like longer trial periods without connecting to any Microsoft account so that the clean installer will be able to use the office without activation and / or Microsoft account for as long as possible. It should be newer to Office 2007.

    That's great news. Please let me find / know those keys. ( If not possible here, Please PM )

    Besides, for knowledge, what are the options If we go super natural ? I mean to say no activation means, no keys, no Microsoft account either.

    Thanks a lot.

    There is no activation key for that, Mondo 2016 is the last O365 version that can be KMS aka VL activated, so KMS_VL_ALL uses the license files of Mondo 2016 to be able to activate O365, for real O365 activation use Ohook from MAS.

    Thanks.

    If I understand it correctly, the key installation alone can trigger a first 6 month trial period. Am I right ?

    Thanks.

    Why not just activate it properly, less hassle and working fine, even for testing only.

    In this thread, I have only asked about actual trial / grace period for Office suites newer to 2007 i.e. without using any Microsoft account, activation means.
    Have to say anything about it ?

    @pm67310 : Anything ? Installing Mondo Trial keys in Microsoft 365 Enterprise for 6 months trial period ?

    Thanks.

    @alexxf : Can you suggest me an office suite which gives some free trial/grace period without any alteration, activation means, Microsoft account that's installed the super natural way & newer to Office 2007.

    Thanks.

    AFAIK there are not trial installers. Neither retail nor VL. You always need convert and/or enter a key.
    And there is not Office Click to Run VL installer. You must convert to VL to insert Mondo key
