How to Use OneNote for More Than 60 Days

OneNote creates a digital notebook with personal, professional and academic uses.

The free trial of Microsoft's OneNote program offers users the chance to build a shareable digital notebook with text, pictures, video, custom templates and more for 60 days. However, the program converts to read-only at the conclusion of the trial. While the expired trial will allow previously created OneNote files to be viewed, it does not allow the user to create or edit any OneNote files. To legally reinstate functionality of OneNote, users must enter a product key that they get by purchasing a legal copy of the software.

Instructions

1. Purchase Microsoft OneNote 2010 individually or as part of the Microsoft Office 2010 on Microsoft's website. Follow the prompts to complete the transaction and download the software.

2. Search for Microsoft OneNote 2010 online from various online retailers. Some retailers, such as Amazon, may offer the product at a discount.

3. Purchase Microsoft Office 2010 from a local retailer. Most retailers do not carry the separate components of Office (OneNote, Word, Excel, etc.) independently.
