Hi Gao Pengcheng, 

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum! 

Have a good day and I hope you're doing well! 

Thank you for reaching out. I completely understand your desire to set up an E5 Developer subscription to start building and testing applications. Navigating the registration process can be a bit confusing recently due to some changes in the program, and I would like to clarify the current situation for you. 

Based on my research and the experience of many users recently, Microsoft has tightened the ability to create new developer tenants. As of the latest updates, instant sandbox creation is primarily available only to users who hold a paid Visual Studio Subscription (Professional or Enterprise). If you are using a free personal Microsoft account, you may not be eligible to create a new tenant at this time. 

These specific requirements are detailed in the official Microsoft 365 Developer Program FAQ. In particular, I highly recommend reviewing the following two key topics regarding eligibility: 

If you do possess a valid Visual Studio Enterprise or Professional subscription, you can proceed to register. Please follow the full official Microsoft instructions here: Join the Microsoft 365 Developer Program. 

You can also refer to the following topic for step-by-step visual guidance: 

I hope this information is partially helpful. If you have any further questions or concerns, or if anything remains unclear, please feel free to reach out anytime. 

Best regards.
