COPILOT DENIES ACCESS IN BETA VERSION
A regional error appearing after the VPN connection is useful context, but it does not prove a permanent account flag or identify the eligibility check that failed. Since reinstalling Office and changing privacy settings did not resolve it, avoid repeating those steps or cycling through VPN locations. Use your normal supported network and compare Copilot in the stable Office channel and the web with the same entitled account. Record which experience works, the complete Beta build, exact error text and UTC reproduction time. Run Microsoft's Copilot license troubleshooter if available for your account, but understand that licensing and preview-region eligibility are different checks. Submit the comparison through Microsoft 365 Insider feedback and your existing support route, asking for account and preview-eligibility review. I cannot confirm the named preview models or promise a reset period from official documentation. Do not change account country information merely to bypass the restriction
