Having trouble activating my Microsoft Entra ID P2 free trial

Question

I'm having trouble activating my Microsoft Entra ID P2 free trial. When I click on the "Start your trial>" button from my activation email, it won't let me use my normal Microsoft sign in email and my work email doesn't have access. I need this free trial license to complete a project. I'm also not able to link the license to my subscription either. Please get back with me.

Thanks!

Hi @Todd Pearson

Thank you for reaching us!

For your query I have understand you're facing an issue with activating your Microsoft Entra ID P2 free trial version from the email which you received.
To activate free trial of Microsoft Entra ID P2 you need an active Azure Subscription, if you don't have the one, you can create from here.
After successful registration follow the below steps to activate a free trial of Microsoft Entra ID P2.

1. Sign into Azure Portal in the search box Search for Microsoft Entra ID and select it from the results.
2. In the left pane select Licenses->Overview In the top right under "Quick tasks" select "Get a free trial." Select Microsoft Entra ID P2 and select Activate. On the same page under the "All products" tab, you see the list of licenses you have, and you can assign as per your requirements.

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.

To get the access to your work email contact your IT department or administrator. They may need to grant you the necessary permissions.
