Fabric trial capacity
Hi maxtexg - Your organization might have restricted the use of free trials or Microsoft Fabric.
Action:
- Contact your IT administrator to confirm if trials are allowed for your account.
- Ensure your Azure Active Directory (AAD) account has permissions to access Fabric features.
or
A valid Power BI license is often required to activate the Microsoft Fabric trial.
- Action:
- Go to the Power BI Service (https://app.powerbi.com).
- Check if you have at least a Power BI Pro license. If not, request one or upgrade.Verify that your account is in a supported region for Fabric trials.If you belong to a guest tenant, switch to your home tenant to activate the trial. You can do this in the top-right corner of the Power BI Service.
I hope this helps.
Super UserHi LearnFabric - Since your company has a Power BI Pro license but restricts Microsoft Fabric, and you're unable to access Fabric trial capacity can you cross check with your Microsoft 365 or Power BI Admin to confirm if Fabric is blocked in your company’s Azure portal.If blocked, you might need explicit approval to enable Fabric services. or another option like , If self-service purchasing is disabled, ask IT to allow you to enable it. You can check this in Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for your quick response. Apologies for not providing the full context earlier.
I'm using this account on my personal laptop, not my company laptop, to learn and gain experience with Fabric quickly. However, I’m encountering this issue while trying to install it.
Do I need to purchase a Power BI Pro license to access Fabric?
