Microsoft Fabric Free Trial for Free Account liscense type (using student id subscription)

[RakChandna]

Im currently doing Azure data fundamentals course(using student id subscription) in which on the last module, you need to learn Microsoft Fabric. But unfortunately i cant create a new workspace on any Fabric platform due to not having a TRIAL OPTION in Advanced settings.

- My liscence type is a "free account"

- I cant see start trial option on account settings.

- I also cannot access tenant setting through admin portal menu selection.

Any Help or Suggestion would be highly appreciated!

Hi @RakChandna 

It's a feature that needs to be enabled by Power BI Admin at the Admin portal.

Hi Guys,

I believe my issue is slightly different, but I'm not sure what is going on. 

I'm using my Business email and other guys within my Team have been able to use the Free Trial and Trial Capacity within MS Fabric, but I'm not sure if my Power BI Pro license is causing this issue, but this is what is happening at the moment.

It seems as if the Free Trial was activated as a Fabric Pro account and thus I can't use this to study and work through my MS Learnings and I'm also not sure how to email or contact Microsoft with this issue and for them to check my account.

I manage to click on Start Free Trial and followed the prompts (As you can see I know have 59 Days left):

But now I can't click on the Trial Option Button in any Workspace:

I've managed to create a free account, but I would have liked to first use the days within my business account, in case I don't get through everything in the next 60-days.

Please help me in the right direction?

Thanks

Hi @RakChandna

It is not available to you because it is disabled by your admin (it is an admin feature).

Another option would be to sign up for a free M365 license and eventually enable MS Fabric trial for 60 days where you can learn and practice all fabric features (no credit card required).

Follow this link for a step by step instructions on how to set up the M365 licence and sign up for Fabric trial.
