Good day, and thank you for taking the time to share the full technical details, including the error code and the reference identifiers.
From your description, you have redeemed Microsoft 365 Business Premium, however you are currently unable to access it and you receive the message “Something happened” with error code 715 123280.
In most cases, this happens when the redemption is accepted but the subscription creation and account validation process does not complete correctly in the background. As a result, the service cannot finish linking the Business Premium subscription to your sign in session, so the portal shows a generic error page. This may also occur when automated sign up checks require additional verification of the account, billing profile, or network environment used during redemption.
Please try the options below, as they are the most effective advanced steps for this type of access error.
1/ Check subscription status and confirm the license is assigned
- Sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center using the same account that redeemed the subscription.
- Open Billing, select Your products, and confirm Microsoft 365 Business Premium is listed as Active.
- Open Users, select Active users, choose your account, and confirm the Microsoft 365 Business Premium license is assigned and switched on.
- If the license is missing or not active, switch it off, save, then switch it on again and save, then sign in to Microsoft 365 once more in a new browser session.
2/ Clear sign in session conflicts and retry from a clean network path
- Sign out from Microsoft 365 in all browser tabs, then close the browser completely.
- Open an InPrivate window, then sign in again using only the account that redeemed the subscription, and avoid switching between multiple Microsoft accounts during the same session.
- Temporarily disable VPN or proxy settings, then retry. If available, test from a different internet connection such as a mobile hotspot to rule out a network reputation block.
- If the flow requests billing details, confirm the billing country and address match what the payment provider has on file, then attempt access again. [gist.github.com]
3/ Run Microsoft activation diagnostics and submit a support request with your identifiers
- On the affected Windows device, open the Get Help app and run the Microsoft 365 activation troubleshooter to validate subscription and sign in status.
- If Office apps are already installed, run the Microsoft Support and Recovery Assistant to collect diagnostics for activation and sign in checks.
- Create a support request from the Microsoft 365 admin center Help and support section, and include the exact identifiers you received so the support team can locate the backend logs quickly.
- In the request description, state that redemption was completed, but access fails with the “Something happened” page and error code 715 123280, and then paste the EventId, SID, and cV values exactly as shown on the error screen.
4/ Contact IT administrator:
Since your account is managed by your organization, please contact your IT administrator to review your permissions and policies. If the issue persists after these checks, ask your IT administrator to submit a support request directly to Microsoft Support team.
They can raise a support ticket by visiting: Get support - Microsoft 365 admin | Microsoft Learn
Moreover, if you cannot sign in to the Microsoft 365 admin center, please contact Microsoft Support via phone number: Customer service phone numbers - Microsoft Support - Select your country/region own phone number for support.
