I cannot try Microsoft Purview Training a second time with free account. says I must upgrade?

Question

I am attempting the training lab for Microsoft Purview for a second time. dp-203-azure-data-engineer (microsoftlearning.github.io) When I try to create a free version I get the following message:  Looks like you already have a Microsoft Purview (Free) account.  Creating a new account will upgrade this into the Enterprise version! I don’t want to upgrade.  What do I do? 

Answer 1

It appears that you already have an account with the free version of Microsoft Purview. If you attempt to create a new account, it would automatically upgrade your existing account to the enterprise version according to Microsoft's policy. If you want to continue using the free version and avoid upgrading to the enterprise version, here's what you can do:

• Continue Using Your Existing Account: Since you already have a free account, you can continue using this account without creating a new one. The free version supports core functionalities such as data catalog browsing and searching, data sharing, and data map history. Use a Different Subscription: If you need another free account, consider using a different Azure subscription if available. Please note that this may not be feasible for everyone and is subject to the limitations and restrictions of your organization.

Remember, the enterprise version provides additional governance applications and capabilities. However, if you don't want these extra features or incur extra costs, sticking with your current free version is the best move. If you're encountering issues or limitations with the free version that makes it necessary for you to create a new account, please provide more context so I can help address those specific problems.
