Details on the Microsoft 365 Free Trial
The Microsoft 365 free trial is free for a single month, with no strings attached. You must pay for a subscription after the trial period is over unless you cancel before the deadline. If this is your first time using your email address on Microsoft’s website, you might be asked some basic questions, such as your name. If you plan on not canceling at the end of the trial so that you can keep MS Office, the price you’ll be charged is shown on this summary page. You aren’t charged for anything at all for an entire month. Because you provided payment details to get the trial version, that information is linked to your Microsoft account. To turn off automatic payments, cancel your subscription before the month has passed. If you cancel your subscription the same day you create it, for example, you will not be charged anything at the end of the trial and you can still use Microsoft 365 up until the last day of the trial.
How to Cancel Your Microsoft 365 Free Trial
Cancel your Microsoft 365 subscription before your free trial is over if you don’t want to continue using the products. You can do this any time during the trial period and the software will work until the expiration date. The date for when the subscription will renew is shown at the top of your Services & subscription page next to Annual subscription, and the date you started the trial is shown at the bottom under your billing history. The quickest way to cancel the trial is to open the Manage part of your account and select Cancel subscription. On the following page, confirm by choosing Turn off recurring billing. After canceling, you’ll notice that the Annual subscription date changes from “Renews on " to “Expires on “. That’s the easiest way to tell that you’ve successfully prevented Microsoft 365 from auto-charging you after the trial.
