Hi Samuel Montana

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q&A Forum.

Based on your description, I would like to share some information from my research that I hope will be helpful that the qualification for Microsoft 365 Developer Program tenants is fully automated and driven by predefined algorithms and telemetry. In your situation, I recommend reviewing the Microsoft 365 Developer Program FAQ, especially the following sections, for detailed eligibility information:

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

Based on the information in those sections, the E5 developer subscription is primarily available to:

• Visual Studio Professional or Enterprise subscribers (automatic qualification)
• Companies in ISV Success / Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program eligible tiers
• Organizations with Premier or Unified Support (via their Microsoft contacts)

Additionally, you may consider use an active Visual Studio subscription. With an active Visual Studio Professional or Enterprise subscription, you are typically eligible to create a Microsoft 365 E5 developer subscription: Join the Microsoft 365 Developer Program as a Visual Studio subscriber.

I hope this information is helpful.
