Hi @Olaf_98 


Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Fabric Community Forum.
 

Microsoft Fabric is an enterprise-grade analytics platform that requires users to sign in with a work or school account that is part of a Microsoft Entra ID tenant. Unfortunately, personal email accounts are not supported for activating the Fabric trial.When attempting to use a personal email, you may see only partial activation but Fabric-specific features will remain unavailable.

You can create a Microsoft 365 Developer tenant that includes the necessary organizational environment and licensing support to enable Microsoft Fabric features as suggested by @Akash_Varuna .

 

For more detailed information, Please refer to the Microsoft official document:

Hi @Olaf_98 It is not possible to try Microsoft Fabric using a personal email. You would have to use a work or school account that's part of an Entra ID (Azure AD) tenant.

You can try by signing up for a free Microsoft 365 Developer Account, which gives you the right type of tenant to enable the Fabric trial.
