AutoPatch with Developer Tenant
Can I try out AutoPatch using my M365 E5 Developer license? I don't see it available in my developer tenant & would love to test it out before implementing in our production tenant. Thanks
Hi egoodman ,
Windows Autopatch is only available for the following products:
License ID GUID number Microsoft 365 E3 SPE_E3 05e9a617-0261-4cee-bb44-138d3ef5d965 Microsoft 365 E5 SPE_E5 06ebc4ee-1bb5-47dd-8120-11324bc54e06 Windows 10/11 Enterprise E3 WIN10_VDA_E3 6a0f6da5-0b87-4190-a6ae-9bb5a2b9546a Windows 10/11 Enterprise E5 WIN10_VDA_E5 488ba24a-39a9-4473-8ee5-19291e71b002 Windows 10/11 Enterprise VDA E3_VDA_only d13ef257-988a-46f3-8fce-f47484dd4550 However, you can obtain a trial license for Microsoft 365 E5 if you would like to test out Windows Autopatch. This trial will provide you with 25 licenses for 1 month. See steps below for instructions on how to obtain this trial:
- Navigate to the Microsoft 365 admin center and sign in with your tenant
- Select Billing and then Purchase services
- In the search bar, look for Microsoft 365 E5 and select Details under that product
- Select Start free trial and complete the validation prompts
- Select Try now and then Continue
- To validate you have successfully redeemed the Microsoft 365 E5 trial, navigate back to the Microsoft 365 admin center > Billing > Licenses

This is a huge limitation, IMO. Not specifically related to Autopatch but in the dev tenants overall. Microsoft should provide admins of services like MEM and Defender with a way to obtain more than a 30-day trial in a test tenant. It would go a long way towards promoting the adoption of their services.
