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
