Another fix for Microsoft Office v.X incorrect trial expiration

Some users are able to defeat the erroneous "trial version" blurbs in Microsoft v.X, by simply re-naming the "Microsoft Office X" folder (I just deleted "Microsoft " from the name).

One MacFixIt reader writes:

"Once I did this, a registration box came up at the next startup of Word, and all of the trial version pop-ups stopped. I just did this a couple days ago, so I can't say if it solves the two-week lock-down."

We previously noted that the trial version of Microsoft v.X can hamper proper use of licensed copies.
