Cant get my LInkedin activated to Premuim after activating Microsoft 365 for Students

Can't get my LinkedIn activated to Premium after activating Microsoft 365 for Students
I was told at the end of Microsoft 365 activation that I'll receive an email with instructions for how to activate LinkedIn Premium. But unfortunately, I have not received any email (checked in spam).

Dear @Michael,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

First of all, I would like to thank you for explaining your issue in such great detail. As a moderator, I share the same experience as other users and based on the research I've done regarding your issue, I've found that it can take up to 7 days to receive the registration instruction email.

Because of this, please try to be patient and wait a little longer. In the meantime, please check your Junk/Spam folder so you don't miss anything. May I ask how many days you have been waiting so far?

Since I am only a moderator, I do not have the tools to investigate your specific account. Therefore, if you still haven't received the email after 7 days, you should reach out to the Microsoft Technical Support team so they can help investigate this issue further for you via Contact Microsoft Education Support.

If you have any questions or require further clarification, do not hesitate to reach out.

Looking forward to your response!

Thank you, @Jeanie H for your detailed answer. It was very helpful. So far I was waiting for 3/4 days, I didn't realize that it could take up to 7 days to send an email 😅. Thank you again, I'll be patient and wait for the email.

Dear @Michael,

Thank you very much for responding so quickly. I truly appreciate it! If after 7 days you still haven’t received any emails, please help me contact Microsoft’s edu technical support team directly using the link above so they can assist. They will route the case to the department dedicated to edu, so they should have more complete information about this matter. Thank you so much again!
