Disable AllowSelfServicePurchase (MSCommerceProductPolicy)
Hi securebeam,
Setting AllowSelfServicePurchase to $false will only block users from signing up for new trials. It will not have any effect on existing trials that are already activated.
This is because trials are considered to be active contracts, and Microsoft cannot unilaterally break those contracts. However, once a trial expires, the user will not be able to renew it if AllowSelfServicePurchase is set to $false.
If you want to prevent users from renewing existing trials, you will need to manually disable them. You can do this by going to the Subscriptions page in the Microsoft Admin Center and disabling the trials for each user.
Here are the steps on how to disable a trial subscription:
- Go to the Subscriptions page in the Microsoft Admin Center.
- Click on the Trials tab.
- Find the trial subscription that you want to disable and click on it.
- Click on the Disable button.
- Click on the Yes button to confirm.
Once you have disabled a trial subscription, the user will not be able to renew it.

Why doesn't M$ provide enterprise tenants the ability to turn off Self Service purchasing like they do for Governments and Education subscriptions? This is money grab and undermines enterprise organizations.
