Error office 365 e3 developer license will be deleted on XXXXX. Currently disabled
- Sep 29, 2026
Tenant admin should still be able to get in. If so: get a 30-days E3 or E5 trial, assign license to your user, backup.
Use a temporary virtual credit card or cancel your subscription or you will be automatically renewed at end of trial.
I had the same issue — I wasn’t able to see the notification. Thanks, Tobias, for your help. My Office 365 E3 Developer subscription has been deleted.
I’ve now purchased an Office 365 E1 trial and assigned the license to myself (I’m the tenant admin). After doing that, I was able to access the SharePoint Admin Center at https://[tenant]-admin.sharepoint.com, and it’s working again. OneDrive is also accessible, and all my data is still there. I’m not sure why Microsoft warns that data may be lost for related services.
Should I back up my data now and cancel the E1 trial before it expires in 30 days?
I want to continue using my SharePoint Online sites and OneDrive long‑term. Should I cancel the E1 trial and instead purchase the cheaper Microsoft 365 Business Basic on an annual plan to keep my data and services active?
I strongly suggest that you migrate to another subscription (create a new tenant). Don't use this one anymore. After you download your files, you'd better cancel the E1 trial subscription.
