O365 E5 Developer Trial

[jkasavan]

In the Power BI service, I see: PPU Trial 0 days left so I click Request Trial Renewal. I fill in my phone number and click Extend My Free Trial. That screen prompt doesn't go away. But - also - I go to the Microsoft 365 admin center. When I look at my products it says Microsoft 365 E5 Developer Trial expiration date 8/31/2023. Why is there a discrepancy?

The Renewable Microsoft 365 E5 Developer Trial with an expiration date of 8/31/2023 will renew as long as you use it within 90 days.   Out of the box, Power BI for you and your fictitious user friends will include only a Pro license granted through E5. It’s only a few extra steps to get started with Power BI Premium Per User, though.  Can be any development work, just to show activity in that period.  This would be the parent Tenant.    Out of the box, Power BI for you and your fictitious user friends will include only a Pro license granted through E5. It’s only a few extra steps to get started with Power BI Premium Per User, though.   The PPU Trial, I am guessing, was added it was around the time of MS Build / Fabric Launch. You may have started a PPU trial.  When Fabric launched, adding a Trial became very seamless.

The following article is helpful, and below I added a screenshot (courtesy of the article) showing where the Start Trial button appears:
