I think there is a trick with a peice of apple or lemon or something in the microwave - but I can't remember exactly.

try putting in a ziplock bag or Tupperware container. I buy it in Costco in a zipper sealed bag & it stays fresh for months. If it does go hard, you can put it in the microwave for 20 seconds (or more if u need) or in the oven for a few minutes to soften up.

I've found that when I buy brown sugar in the bag it doesn't become rock hard, it's only happened to me when it's in the box.

Just make sure it's in something sealed. Even if I just put a twist tie on the bag it came in & stick it back in the box, it is fine. But ziploc bags are even better.

If it does get hard, Domino Sugar recommends that you heat it in the microwave in a sealed container/bag with an apple wedge for 35 seconds on high. Then wait 30 seconds before opening the bag. Works excellent.

There is a disk that you soak in water and then place it into the brown sugar and it will keep it from hardening for up to three months. I've seen it in stores near me! Here's a place that sells it on-line.

The disc is called a sugar bear. You can get them just about anywhere.
