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.
rajendraongole1 - thanks for your reply, i was trying to follow this youtube vi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHV7jZqc_tEeo steps, he has used the .onmicrosoft dot com account. i'm not sure if their is a bug or something i'm missing, i can see you have given some great solution, but i need to get this around
You're welcome! The YouTube video you followed is a great start, but let's try to pinpoint what's going wrong.
Since you are on a 60-day Power BI Pro trial, double-check these:
License Assignment:
Go to Microsoft 365 Admin Center → Active Users. admin.microsoft.com
Ensure your .onmicrosoft.com account has a Power BI Pro license assigned.
Fabric Enablement in Power BI Admin Portal:
Go to Power BI Service → Settings → Admin Portal → Tenant Settings.
Verify that Microsoft Fabric is enabled for your entire organization.
Ensure that the "Create Microsoft Fabric Trial Capacity" setting is on.
I hope this information helps.
