Very few people know that they can download latest version of iWork for free in 2017, officially. When I started looking for downloading iWork on my recently bought macbook pro, it was all confusing. I went to the mac app store and it didn’t show any free option to download the iwork apps (including pages, keynote and numbers by apple).
Free iWork could stunt sales of that Microsoft product, on Macs that are sold from yesterday on (current devices in the market, both OS X and iOS do not receive the free software, oddly).
All new Macs come with the complete iWork suite for free. However, if you’re like me, and you have an aging (albeit fully functional, older Mac) then you need to pay full price ($20) for each of the the three iWork suites. However, thanks to our friends over at Redmond Pie, we now have a clever way of downloading the latest version of Numbers, Pages and Keynote for free–at least until Apple discovers and patches the exploit.
Word 2013 is a word processing program produced by Microsoft. It is part of the entire Office Suite that was put out as the 2013 version. Though the program of course is very similar to previous versions of Word, there are also many performance advancements that were made by Microsoft in making this 2013 version available.
Until then, we’ve got you covered. I tried this last night, and it worked as advertised. I now have the most recent versions of the complete iWork suite and I can now download the update on any computer I have linked to the Mac App Store with my Apple ID.
Step 1-Download and install the iWork 09 trial.

Step 3-Open the Mac App Store and check the “Updates” tab for your updated version of each iWork app
Those purchasing new Mac hardware after October 1st weren’t the only folks who received a free update to the latest version of the iWork suite this week. Thanks to a Mac App Store bug, those that had downloaded the 30-day trial of Numbers, Pages, Keynote, and even Aperture were also treated to a free upgrade of the full versions of those apps.
What’s more, folks using the software illegally via pirated serial numbers were also granted a free ticket to the full, legal versions of the updated iWork apps. Colorsnapper2 1 6 18. The reason for this likely stems from how the Mac App Store handles boxed software purchased from the Apple Store or elsewhere.
Users who purchased boxed versions of iWork are able to update via the Mac App Store, but the App Store seems to have no way of verifying whether the product was legally registered. For whatever reason, the little loophole is viewing trial and illegal copies of iWork in the same was as it does software purchased at a brick-and-mortar store.
Apple’s current solution has been to suspend iWork trial downloads. A bigger fix could be in the works, but 9to5Mac speculates it might not even be possible based on the way the App Store handles authentication.
