Link in acceptance email for the preview program for Microsoft Defender for Business doesn't work

Hi,

 

I requested access to the preview program for Microsoft Defender for Business. I received an acceptance email containing the following instructions:

  1. Go to this address using an incognito browser window:
    MDE/MDMT/TrialApproved
  2. Follow the prompts to activate the trial and complete setup. To activate the trial for an existing tenant, you must be a global administrator in Azure Active Directory. 

When I do this, nothing happens (see Screenshot)

    If you right-hand click on the link and choose "Copy Hyperlink" and then paste it in to an Incognito Browser, does it work?  After this was suggested on another post, I tried this and had success.  Apparently the Incognito Browser session is important.

      Nope it didn't. I did the whole thing with Microsoft support Team and nothing worked.

    I am also experiencing this problem. Did you manage to find any solution to this Psantus?

      • asked me to log this here.
      • told me that issue was known on their side, and that they'd come back to me when fixed.
