Need activation for Microsoft 365 E5 Developer sandbox

Question

Hello,

I recently joined the Microsoft 365 Developer Program and completed my profile with all the required information (industry, interests, and technologies).

I would like to request activation of my Microsoft 365 E5 Developer sandbox environment to start testing Power Platform (PowerApps, SharePoint, and Power Automate) solutions for a professional prototype project.

My account email is: <<PII removed>>

Thank you very much for your help in enabling the sandbox subscription.

Best regards,

Dear Valentin Bettoni

Thank you for reaching out to the Microsoft Q&A forum.   The Microsoft 365 Developer Program operates independently from Visual Studio licensing. Access is not granted based on owning a Visual Studio Professional license, whether perpetual or subscription based. Instead, eligibility is determined by meeting the program’s requirements and registering with a supported account.

As a forum moderator, I’m unable to review individual account details due to privacy and security policies. However, I recommend checking the Microsoft 365 Developer Program FAQ, which provides clear guidance on key topics such as:

• Who qualifies for a Microsoft 365 E5 developer subscription? 
• What account can I use to sign up for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program? 

If you believe you're eligible but still encountering issues, you can submit a support ticket through the Services Hub for further assistance. Please note that this portal (Services Hub) is a paid ticket and access is subject to certain conditions, which you can review here: Services Hub sign in FAQs | Microsoft Learn

Also, kindly verify that you’re signed in when accessing the dashboard and refresh your browser to ensure all features are visible.

Thank you very much for your time. I hope this information is helpful, and I truly appreciate you're understanding.

Best regards
