Admin-led trial sign-up experience
Microsoft Cloud for Sustainability - Free trial
Some organizations don't allow their team members to sign up for trials directly. Therefore, when you try to sign up for the Microsoft Sustainability Manager trial, you might receive the following message: "Your company doesn't allow team members to sign up with their work email." In this case, you must work with your IT team and have the organization's Microsoft 365 administrators complete the process of joining your organization to the trial. This topic describes the steps in the admin-led sign-up experience.
Deploy the trial
A Microsoft 365 administrator of your organization must follow these steps to deploy the Microsoft Sustainability Manager trial.
- Go to the Microsoft 365 admin center.
- In the left navigation, select Billing and then Purchase services.
- Search for the keyword Sustainability.
- On the app card for Microsoft Sustainability Manager Trial, select Details.
- Select Start free trial to initiate an order and checkout process.
- Select Try now to complete the checkout process. This step effectively purchases a license for the Microsoft Sustainability Manager trial and applies it to your organization free of charge ($0.00).
- Review the order confirmation, and then select Continue to return to your home page in the Microsoft 365 admin center.
You have now obtained a Microsoft Sustainability Manager trial license for your organization.
Provision the application
Follow these steps to provision the application.
Go to the Power Platform admin center.
Select the default environment that was created by Microsoft 365 to open its details page.
In the Add database section, select Add database to provision a database for the selected environment.
Note
If the Add database link isn't available, a database has already been configured for the selected environment.
In the Add database dialog box, accept the default values, and select Add to start the operation. Wait for the database to be deployed to the selected environment. You will see an initial status of PreparingInstance. Preparation of the database instance might take a minute.

Select the I agree to the terms of service option to accept the application's terms and conditions of use.
Select Install to start the installation process.
The Microsoft Sustainability Manager Trial application is installed in the selected environment. This process might take several minutes. You can refresh or close the browser window without affecting the installation process for your organization.
