How in the [Remove by Moderator] do I get in touch with MSFT to activate a Fabric free trial

Hi Bret,

Based on what you've shared, it appears that your Azure account has been in use for quite some time and may no longer qualify for a new free trial subscription.

As an alternative, you may want to create a new Azure Free Trial account if the services you need are offered as part of a time-limited trial. If your current tenant is being used only for testing or learning purposes, starting with a new trial tenant may be more straightforward than troubleshooting eligibility restrictions on the existing one.

After creating the Azure trial account, sign in to the Azure portal and use the search bar to look for Subscriptions. From there, verify that the trial subscription is listed and that its status shows Active before proceeding with any setup or testing.

Additionally, go to Microsoft Entra with the account you used to create the Azure account.

1. In the left menu, select Identity > Overview.
2. Look for:
   • Tenant name
   • Tenant ID
   • Primary domain (for example: contoso.onmicrosoft.com)

For reference: How to find your tenant ID - Microsoft Entra | Microsoft Learn

Please note that the Tenant ID and primary domain name are important details to keep available if you need to contact Microsoft Support. These identifiers are commonly used to locate and verify your tenant, helping ensure your support request is routed to the appropriate team for assistance.

My azure account is so old it doesn't qualify for a free trial anymore.
I created a support request: Case# [Moderator note: Personally Identifiable Information removed]
my live ID is part of this thread.
Long story short, the above case was closed without closure, they transferred me to azure support, azure support dropped the call on me and I am rather upset at not being able to personally develop myself when I should be able to do so with a free account.

Moderators, tell me how to talk to the appropriate people to get this resolved

Hi Bret,

Based on the Start a Microsoft Fabric free trial with a personal email - Microsoft Fabric | Microsoft Learn instruction, you should first create an Azure trial account and then create a user in Microsoft Entra ID.

Please verify whether your Microsoft 365 administrator has enabled the Microsoft Fabric (Free) license for your organization. In my Microsoft 365 admin center, you should assign the Microsoft Fabric (Free) license before you are able to create a new free Fabric account.

After that, a Fabric administrator may also need to enable Fabric item creation in the Fabric Admin Portal. Please review the guidance for enabling Fabric item creation and confirm that this setting is turned on.

Please note that personal email addresses are not supported for creating free Microsoft Fabric trial accounts.

You should follow this steps to create your Fabric account:

1. Creating a new user in my Azure Free account.
2. Creating that user in Microsoft Entra ID.
3. Assigning the Microsoft Fabric (Free) license to the new user.
4. Signing in to Fabric using the Entra ID user's User Principal Name (UPN).
