I logged into Fabric with a personal user and free trial but when I try to create a Lakehouse I get the following error:
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hi , Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.
You need to activate the free trial capacity (even though you already have a free trial license) before creating the lakehouse. Click on the free trial as shown in the image below (in your profile) and then click on activate.
After activating this, create a workspace and try creating a lakehouse.
