Accessing Microsoft 365 E5 Sandbox in the Developer Program (Constco)
Hello Microsoft Tech Community,
I'm encountering difficulties accessing the E5 sandbox in the Microsoft 365 Developer Program using my personal account. Although I've successfully accessed Azure Free Tier and other free services which have expired (not sure if related but included relevant information?), I can't seem to activate or access the E5 sandbox that I've seen other developers use to access the Constco Tenant.
Steps I've Taken:
- Completed the initial setup for the Developer Program.
- Searched for specific guidance on accessing the E5 sandbox with a personal account in official documentation, community posts, and YouTube.
- Tried signing up with different Microsoft accounts, each with a separate phone number, but faced the same access issues.
Questions:
- What are the exact steps needed to access the E5 sandbox in the Developer Program?
- Are there any specific requirements or limitations for personal accounts that might affect access?
- Whom can I contact within Microsoft for direct assistance with this issue?
I appreciate any advice or resources you can provide to help clarify these issues. Thank you in advance for your support!
Edit: Apparently this information is probably why I cannot gain access: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/stay-ahead-of-the-game-with-the-latest-updates-to-the-microsoft-365-developer-program/
I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue or was able to successfully gain access.
Thanks!
