I did a Microsoft Entra ID p2 free trial but instead of it being available on my default directory, it created a new azure portal account and is available on only that account.

Hello, I was trying to activate the Entra ID P2 free trial using the same email/ Microsoft account I got the free azure account i started the Entra ID P2 free trial but it did not allow me use the same email and domain where i got the free account. so i just used a new one thinking that is how the set up is meant to be. After creating it and filling up the details, a new separate azure portal account was created where the Entra ID P2 free trial is available. And i wanted the Entra ID Premium P2 to be available on my default directory where i clicked on start free trail. I hope i provided enough clarity with my explanation.

Now the new account that was created is a work/ student account which does not have an azure free trial subscription. I can't apply for another free trial because its already in use on my default account where i want the Entra ID P2 to be on. Pls what went wrong and what can i do

Thank youScreenshot (51) new

    Hello Isaac Samuel,

    Thanks for your question

    If you have registered for Azure Free Subscription from your personal email address, then you will receive default Microsoft Entra ID (not P1 / P2 trail) license with subscription.

    Because the P2 trial requires a separate license, it wouldn't activate on the same tenant and instead created a new one with your new email. So this is expected behaviour.
