    Hi @Leiva Pacheco, Edbertha Marina ,

    Thank you for reaching out Microsoft Community.

    I believed this has been addressed and answered with the same context. Try checking this link https://trainingsupport.microsoft.com/en-us/tcmct/forum/all/you-dont-current-qualify-for-a-microsoft-365/7d308853-5fc4-4ec1-9847-bda4c5a33442

    "This is to inform you that we've received numerous reports from other candidates who are facing error messages stating, "You don't currently qualify for a Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox subscription" during their sandbox setup. To provide further assistance, below are the recommended steps we advise them to take:

    • If you're an active MCT with a Visual Studio Subscription, I recommend reaching out to Visual Studio Support. They specialize in addressing concerns regarding Visual Studio accounts and their associated benefits. You can submit an online request or contact them directly at 18007595474.
    • Otherwise, if you don't have a Visual Studio Subscription and are only joining for free, please note that as per the recent announcement on this Microsoft 365 Developer Program - Microsoft 365 Developer Blog, registration for the M365 DEV Subscription is currently closed. This affects customers without a PAID & Active VSS. Any updates regarding when this will resume or when this feature will become available again will be announced on the above-mentioned blog.

    With that being said, we recommend visiting the blog announcement regularly to stay updated on any changes."

    I hope this helps. :)

    Ivan

    Microsoft stopped providing free M365 Developer subscription. You must have Visual Studio Enterprise subscription to get one.
