  9. Enter your payment information and activate the trial.

  10. On successful creation of a trial tenant, the Confirmation details page appears as in the following screenshot.

    Note

    While adding the payment method, you will be charged for $1 which is reversible, to authenticate your credit card. You will also be asked for MFA configuration. You can configure MFA within 14 days of creating the tenant. If you do not configure it, you may not be able to access the tenant after 14 days.

    Note

    You can cancel your free trial at any time to stop future charges. Follow these steps to turn off recurring billing. If you don't turn off recurring billing, after your one-month free trial ends, you're charged the applicable subscription fee. If your trial subscription doesn't have a payment method associated with it, you can just let it expire at the end of the trial period, and you won't be charged. You can extend the trial for a certain period mentioned on your product page, if you need more time. If the trial is no more needed, you can cancel the subscription.

  11. After you set up the trial, open a new tab and sign in to Microsoft 365 admin center.

  12. On the left navigation pane, select Billing > Licenses > Manage subscriptions.

  13. Select Edit recurring billing. Select the Off option.
