Problem activating Microsoft Entra ID P2 trial

ritmo2k 811

It seems the trial offerings changed recently, you used to have Enterprise Mobility + Security E5 and Entra ID P2 options to activate a trial. Additionally, it seems the process has changed.

When I log into a newly created pay-as-you-go tenant, browse to Licensing > All Products, and select try/buy, and then the P2 option, I am routed to a form that tries to create a new tenant.

That activation button activated the license from within the same dialog.

Is anyone else seeing this?

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A, from above description I could understand that you are looking for advisory on activating Entra ID P2 license.

Please do correct me if this is not the case by responding in the comments section:

I tested this on two tenants:

If I am trying on a tenant with no other Microsoft service trial, After selecting Get a free trial, click on Activate .
When I selected Activate, Azure AD Premium P2 license activated successfully as below:

However, when I try on a tenant already holding Microsoft Entra service trial, I am not able to activate it and ask me to create a new tenant.

Microsoft Entra ID P2 free trail are limited to one free trial per tenant, if you have already activated the Microsoft Entra ID P2 free trial in past it will not allow you activate again.

When I followed those steps, it had me create an entirely new account. The trial did not activate on my Azure account. Well over 10 minutes have passed and it never changed.
