UPDATE September 2024 - I asked Microsoft during an AMA session at the TechCon365 conference in Washington DC (August 2024) for an update on the timeframe... unfortunately it sounded like it won't be September, rather it's going to be more like late 2024 or early 2025 :(

I have a E5 developer trial tenant that I've had for a couple of years now. I use it in the organisation I work for to test out SharePoint and AzureAD/Entra code before deploying it to our main tenant with an A3 subscription. My developer trial was recently renewed in May for 3 months (until August), which was useful as I'm currently using it for a local test for AzureAD/Entra logins

I have a Visual Studio Subscription, but when I try to join, I still get the "you don't qualify for a sandbox subscription" message. If anyone knows a way around this issue, I would appreciate it!

Hi @Andrew_Connell, Do you think Microsoft will also move M365 Developer Tenants to something similar to the sandboxes in the Microsoft Learn modules?

Can i get a free developer program with Visual Studio Dev Essentials?
