Question

If I have a MS Entra ID P1 free trial active does that mean I have access to azure portal free trail too with the same login and trial?

Hi,

I bought MS Entra ID to setup a Lab for myself using MS Free Lab Kit. While setting up the Lab, I needed to configure the Cloud Service via following below steps:

1. Log into the Azure portal using the labadmin@<AzureDomainName>.onmicrosoft.com account.

2. Click Create a resource from the top left-hand corner.

3. In Search the Marketplace search box, type Cloud Service and select Cloud Service from the search results.

4. Click Create in the Cloud service blade.

While checking MS Entra ID, I couldn't see that feature available. I went to Azure Portal and I see Azure Subscription 1 listed but I am not sure if its the same though it asked me to add the details while creating azure free trial account and then showed you already have an active subscription which I feel was pay as go got activated?

Note: I have disabled Azure Sub because I thought it is Pay As you go got activated.

Can someone please clarify this for me? It will be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello @LabAdmin ,

I Understand that you have a concern that if you have a MS Entra ID P1 free trial active does that mean I have access to azure portal free trail too with the same login and trial.

Let me explain you clearly here the azure free trail is different and Microsoft Entra ID P1 free trail is different. When you login with your free trail Microsoft Entra ID Free is included with Microsoft cloud subscriptions, such as Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 and also which supports:

multifactor authentication, unlimited SSO across any SaaS app, basic reports, and self-service password change for cloud users.
Manage users and groups in the cloud.
Sync your on-premises directory with Microsoft Entra ID.

Coming to the Microsoft Entra ID P1 free trail so it adds the additional features to the tenant which free trail doesn't have like implementing phone call as a second factor, Admin control over verification methods, Fraud alerts etc. So if you are using Microsoft Entra ID P1 free trail you can login and utilize the license plan.

For detailed information regarding the Licenses and plans you can follow the document:

Additionally you can follow this document:https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/enterprise/subscriptions-licenses-accounts-and-tenants-for-microsoft-cloud-offerings?view=o365-worldwide

Hope this information Helps. Let us know if you have any queries. Happy to assist you further.

Hi Gautam,

Thank you for all those details. If I have MS Entra ID free trial active can I still be able to use Azure free trial? Asking, because I tried creating one and it says, already have an account and probably created a pay as you go plan.

Azure Active Directory Premium P1 and Microsoft Entra ID P1 are same?

It is very confusing.

Also, my account is eligible for free trial but when I am trying to avail it, it says; Already Have a Subscription.

Hello @LabAdmin ,

Just to clarify, Azure Active Directory and Microsoft Entra ID are the same service. It was previously known as Azure Active Directory, and it has now been rebranded as Microsoft Entra ID.

If you've opted for a Free Trial, you can continue using it. Similarly, if you've chosen the Pay-As-You-Go model, you can proceed with that.

When attempting to activate a Free Trial, you are seeing a message indicating that you already have a subscription. This happens because your current tenant already has an active subscription, which prevents you from availing another Free Trial under the same tenant.

To access the Free Trial, I recommend creating a new account. This will allow you to utilize the Free Trial benefits without conflicts from existing subscriptions.

Hope this information helps! Let us know if you have any further questions — we’re happy to assist you.

Hi @Goutam Pratti

This line of yours is true "When attempting to activate a Free Trial, you are seeing a message indicating that you already have a subscription. This happens because your current tenant already has an active subscription, which prevents you from availing another Free Trial under the same tenant." but I haven't availed the free trial under this current trial.

Your information has solved many doubts I had but there are few more which I think I have to do my own research using MS docs.Thanks,
