I have Register for Azure 30 days Free Subscription, my subscription is working fine. I am self-learning AZ-104 and having trouble following AZ-104: Manage identities and governance in Azure >>> Configure user and group accounts>>> Unit 7>>Intractive Lab Simulation >> Task 2
Issue Is: While trying to get Entra ID P2 free trial from Azure portal, its redirecting to signup page which is not accepting my current email address which is associated with Azure Free Subscription.
Expected behavior: Entra ID P2 Free Trail License should be added to Azure Subscription as per the Intractive Lab.
I have already followed same instruction to get Entra ID P2 free trial, however i tried again and sharing screenshots. when i click on Activate Free trial from Azure Portal its open new browser tab and redirecting me to different page. On that page I am getting message "Enter your work or school email address, we'll check if you need to create a new account for Microsoft Entra ID P2 Trial." I have already registered my Azure Free Subscription from my personal email, after entering same email and going for next steps there i am receiving message "need to create new account".
So, it means I can't get Entra ID P2 free trial license with my personal email address. I should be using work or school email address. is this true statement?
I am attaching few screenshots for understanding.
Its asking to register new domain, I can't use my default domain which I am using in Azure portal.
Not allowed to use my default domain which i am using in Azure Porta
I notice in Entra Admin Center my tenant has Microsoft Entra ID Free License. So now my question is how to change this license type from Entra ID Free to Entra ID P2 Free?

"I'm experiencing the same issue, and it poses a challenge for self-learning students. It has become increasingly difficult in several courses to finish certain lab demos due to the inability to upgrade to Entra ID P2 free trial. This issue is affecting my candidates as well. In the past, it was a straightforward process to activate this for a 30-day period."

What a piece of junk, I'm a student, I don't have a credit card, and you don't accept my prepaid card, so how am I supposed to learn this? Annoying, it makes me not want the certificate at all.
Thank you for reaching out to us on the Q&A forum.
I understand how annoying it can be when payment methods are limited. Here are a few suggestions that might help:
Contact Customer Support: Reach out to the customer support team of the platform you're using. They might offer alternative payment methods or solutions for students in your situation.
Look for Discounts or Scholarships: Some educational platforms offer discounts, scholarships, or financial aid for students. Check if any of these options are available to you.
Use a Different Platform: If the current platform doesn't meet your needs, consider looking for other platforms that offer similar courses and accept a wider range of payment options.
Ask a Family Member or Friend: If possible, you might ask a family member or friend to use their credit card and then reimburse them with your prepaid card or another method.
Bank Account Options: Some banks offer student accounts with debit cards that can be used for online payments. Look into whether this might be an option for you.
If you provide more details about the specific course or platform, I might be able to offer more tailored advice.

Hi Suraj Chandrakar I want to help you with this question.
If you use Interactive Lab simulations, it's not possible to add license plans. You have to use the pre-configuration.

Thank you.
Hello AmaranS,
When clicking the Activate free trial, it redirects me to a page that asks me to put in my work or school email address - when I put in the address I used to create the Azure Free account, it says the account is not recognised, create a new one.
You said "if you have already activated the Microsoft Entra ID P2 free trial in past it will not allow you activate again.". I have used a free MS365 + Entra ID P2 account for my MS-900 studies. Is this the reason why I cannot use my Azure Free account to activate the Entra ID P2 trial?
The MS-900 account was created using another email address, the only thing that is the same is the Credit Card details. Is this whats stopping me from creating a free P2 trial, tied to my free Azure account.
Thank you!
Thanks to all of you for your Input. I am summarizing here to make sure @Microsoft should update their Lab document with appropriate offering to use during Lab Workshop.
Hope this will help.
Thank you for listing this.
