Advocate IFabric Trial not working
Thank you for the feedback. There can be many reasons why a Fabric trial capacity does not start which is why we recommend working with support. You do NOT need a paid license to get support for Fabric trial capacities. You can reach support from the '?' help menu or Microsoft Fabric Support and Status | Microsoft Fabric.
Common reasons why a Fabric trial capacity cannot be started include
- Fabric or Power BI Admin disabled trial on their tenant using Help and support admin settings - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
- the limit of trial capacities for the tenant has been reached and the user should share existing trial capacities with other users as per Fabric trial capacity - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn
There is additional information in Fabric trial capacity - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn.
Now given the timing of this thread I suspect what many of you have been experiencing is the fact that we have stopped supporting Fabric trial capacities on newly created Entra and M365 tenants which many users have been used to spinning up for testing and learning. Unfortunately the ease of creating these tenants and these trial capacities led to significant abuse and we are unable to support further trial capacities on this class of tenant. We recommend all users initiate their Fabric trial capacities on the tenants associated with their work or school organization and NOT spin-up new tenants. Trial capacities continue to be available on longstanding tenants where there is material multi-product usage of Microsoft products. If you feel your case is exceptional please work with support.
Advocate IBelow are some screenshots. I'm the only one requesting a trial so far.
Community ChampionDid you try start fabric trial capacity? This should work. If not, then ask your colleague who has fabric trial license to create a workspace and set the license to fabric trial.

Hi,
Did you manage to solve this issue, I am facing this exact same error.- rubayatyasmin
Hi Zikrija , can share the profile screenshot? Also, are you a premium user? If yes, then I suggest you create a support ticket.
Hi rubayatyasmin,
I opened a ticket. After some exchanges with support, the issue indeed is global as ru335232 mentionned earlier in this thread.
Apparently, there is no ETA.
