How to get a free trial of Office 365 for home, business or enterprise

A free trial of Office 365 is a great idea if you’re:

• Curious how it could help your team and want to do some testing as a group
• Wanting hands-on experience with tools you’re interested in using
• Needing to test something out in a safe, no-consequence zone before applying it to your actual environment
• Studying for exams 70-346 or 70-347 (I recommend a Business Premium trial)
• Considering changing licenses
