PL-400 - Need access to Power Apps
Hello people, I am currently doing the self taught learning path for the PL-400 certification. However, to complete the practical exercises I need access to Power Apps and a Microsoft Dataverse etc. I am using a personal email and not a school or work one - hence I am trying to create a Microsoft 365 Developer Program account to allow me to have access to Power Apps etc. But I am stuck when trying access the dashboard as it is stuck on a infinite loop of "Loading your data" and I am not sure what to do and what is causing this. Has anyone else had this issue and what can I do to get around this? I think it is super important for me to get access to power apps in order to complete the training as it will impact my understand and ability to complete the course. I am sure there is enough people who take the course that are no in school or work. I hope someone can help me Regards, Mark

Nonprofit pricing for the Defender and Purview Suites for Business Premium
Will nonprofit pricing be available for the Defender and Purview Suites for Business Premium? Many clients have purchased the E5 Security license when it was first released as a Business Premium upgrade, which is available as a nonprofit SKU. A couple of months later Microsoft released the defender and purview suites for BP but never added the licenses as a nonprofit SKU. Microsoft also removed Business Premium as an upgraded path to E5 Security (now Defender Suite). Leaves those of us who purchased the E5 security upgrade in a bad place. Please advise.Nonprofit pricing for Purview and Defender suites for business premium
I'm wondering when the Purview and Defender Suites will be added to the nonprofit pricing sheets with the nonprofit discount. E5 Security was an available add on to Business Premium for a couple of months before it switched to the Defender Suite for Business Premium. Now clients with the E5 Security add on are left without a discounted option to go forward as Business premium has been removed as a prerequisite.Becoming a Frontier Firm: Accelerate custom app development with Quick-Start Development Toolkit

Hi all, If anybody has more insights on the D365 SCM Warehouse Management Only solution and it's licensing requirement, that would be great: Warehouse management only mode overview - Supply Chain Management | Dynamics 365 | Microsoft Learn. Eg. does the customer needs to pay regular SCM licenses with 20 seat minimum? (I expect so). Or, since it's only a part of the SCM module, are there some license exceptions?

Good morning, as the former BizApps PDM at Microsoft driving 100's of ISV solutions to the marketplace I wanted to ensure the community realized that the marketplace is now driving leads directly to partners from customers around the world exploring the marketplace. If you have been in the marketplace for a few months and are seeing little interest or leads it should guide you to further optimize your listing and also do a competitive analysis of other solutions in the marketplace. I am and have always been excited about the Microsoft Marketplace and hope you are too! - John O'Donnell https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnodonnellmsft/Azure daily rated usage downloads not working since 1st Dec
Has anyone else been experiencing issues downloading unbilled Azure usage from the MS Graph Async API v2 for the last few days? We have not been able to download any data newer than the 1st of Dec, meaning we can't show our customers their current month usage data. I've logged a support ticket, but just wondering if this is affecting others too.Previously registered as Training Services Partner and unable to access membership information
