in our tenant (currently on Office E3+ Enterprise Mobility E3 with 1200 users) we would love to try out Defender P2 for M365 and buy the licensing in the longterm if we are convinced by the features

I just followed https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/security/office-365-security/try-microsoft-defender-... on how to start the trial, however I can neither start the trial from the Trial page in the security center, nor from the ATP Evaluation page - we have had a single Defender P1 licensed purchased for a month in the past, but its not active anymore for quite some time

could this be related? if so, how can we start the p2 trial now that we are interested in purchasing it, after reviewing its features?

Did anybody get the trial to work?

Thank you!
