Couldn't free trail fabric

[Lucay]

Hi All,

I want  to create a demo in Fabric, but when i want to free trail it, it tell me " Sorry, we couldn't start trail".

Now, only free trail PPU license. Data region: East Asia, could use Fabric.

Thank you very much if you can provide effective assistance.

Best reagrds,

Luca

Hi @Lucay , Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Community Forum.

Currently, Microsoft does not offer free trials for Fabric to new tenants. However, you can obtain a free trial license with an older tenant (over 90 days) of any Microsoft 365 product (like Azure).

Microsoft confirmed this but there is no official documentation stating this.

Hi @Lucay ,

Thanks for sharing the details — that error message and the activity IDs are super helpful.

A few things you can try:

1. Region Limitation: Sometimes the free trial isn’t available in all regions. Since your cluster URI is pointing to East Asia, it’s possible that Fabric trial provisioning is limited or delayed there. You might want to try switching your home region to something like West Europe or East US (if your org allows it) and then try again.

2. Tenant Restrictions: Some tenants (especially EDU or restricted enterprise tenants) have trial creation blocked by policy. You can check with your Microsoft 365 admin if trial services are allowed for your account.

3. PPU vs. Fabric Trial: Having a Power BI Premium Per User (PPU) trial doesn’t automatically give you access to Fabric. You need to explicitly activate the Microsoft Fabric trial from the Fabric homepage or Admin Portal.

4. Try Incognito or Different Browser: Sometimes cached sessions or cookies can interfere with trial activation. Try using an incognito window or a different browser.

If none of that works, you can also raise a support ticket with Microsoft and include the Activity ID and Request ID you posted — that’ll help them trace the issue faster.

Let us know how it goes!

Hi @Lucay 

You are correct, If your tenent created recently you need to wait until 60days completion.  Have a look on response from microsoft.

Hope you are clear now.

Thank you!

This seems to be a restriction imposed by Microsoft on newly created tenants☹️☹️☹️
