[@dougydoe]

Finally!!!! This is great and thanks for highlighting it. Appreciated.

[@AprilDunnam]

It's about time 🙂

[@jray1429]

Thank you April…This really helps me out! You thought of multiple scenarios where someone was trying to get an account and one fit me. Thanks for your work

[@AprilDunnam]

I'm so glad it was helpful!

Is there any other way to do hands on learning of the Power Platform now that this dev program is gone?

[@daxteoh27]

hi april, if my company has Power Platform license already, do i really need this for my DEV environment? Or simply i can use sandbox/production type as my dedicated DEV environment. I'm worry if using sandbox/production as dev environment may not have some features that is in Developer Environment Type.

provisioned with Dataverse so that we can test all the functionalities ? being premium environments that means we can also test the new deployment pipelines feature for ALM?

[@ericasierra1322]

I was able to follow all the steps, then when it asked me for my Country of Origin on the Community Sign up page, the drop down box is greyed out and no options will appear. I tried typing and..nothing. Therefore, I'm stuck. Any advice?

[@markjacobson9532]

Thanks April, I never knew about the M365 developer program that allowes you to then subsequently set up a PowerApp develope plan on that developer tenant. In order to get others to help me with testing my developments, do I need to add them as users to the M365 tenant and then give them access to the test powerapp environment and then also share the specific app with them? or is it more complicated than that? Thanks again for this amazing insight

Thanks a lot April, it's very useful! is there any way to create a "Production" environment with this Dev Plan? (I'd like to test PP Pipelines and that requires a Production environment)

[@akshaynm]

Thanks a lot April for sharing the info.!!

[@AprilDunnam]

My pleasure!

[@DanielWeikert]

can you elaborate on the 3 environments? Is there a feature to move test to prod and so on. How do they interact. Thanks and br

[@AprilDunnam]

I show that about midway in the video. You can create 3 distinct developer environments and use them however you want. Typically this is used or wanted to a dev, test, prod type scenario to test moving solutions. You can use the existing solution capability to package up your Power Platform assets, export and move across environments and do things like test out Pipelines, etc

[@andriescorneliusnienaber]

Watched this video again and today I set everything up. Great video, can I use PowerBI with this account? Do you have a course/s?

[@AprilDunnam]

Glad you got it all setup! No, this doesn't include any Power BI licensing. You can sign up for trials to test it out. I do have a couple courses on LinkedIn Learning: www.linkedin.com/learning/instructors/april-dunnam?u=0

Premium connectors yes, however, it doesn't include AI Builder credits which are separate. You can get a free trial for that though in product

You are so welcome!

[@andriescorneliusnienaber]

Hi, does this include PVA

[@AprilDunnam]

Good question, no this doesn't include any additional PVA capacity outside of what you get with Dataverse for Teams.

[@andriescorneliusnienaber]

@@AprilDunnam Awesome thankyou, Do I select Private for company as I have no company, when creating the tenant for M365? Can I share the solution for somebody else to view? Demo, not selling! Thanks, love your videos

[@sereyatiampati]

Registration for the M365 DEV Subscription is currently closed

[@AprilDunnam]

Yes, this video could use a refresh given the current limitations. I am hoping that it opens back up soon .

[@sphesibiya1999]

She really just gave us the tech and then immediately showed the opps how to counter us

[@AprilDunnam]

Not sure I understand your comment

[@techknowledgetutorial]

Nice video

[@AprilDunnam]

Thanks!

[@MrDashingAshish]

Is free developer environment still free

[@AprilDunnam]

Unfortunately not. I need to update this video. There was a change as of January where they made it so you can only get one if you have a Visual Studio Enterprise license. I am unsure at the moment what the long term plans are

[@MrDashingAshish]

@@AprilDunnam yes I created it for my self learning purpose 2 years back it is still active . But for one of my friend when I was trying it suggested me documentation. There it was mentioned some visual studio license are listed to your account then you are eligible. Thanks for confirmation 👍 They could have kept it open with some limited features otherwise how would it reach the masses.

[@bgrebe26]

Please help, I want to further my certifications in the power platform but don't have a way of using it currently. Trying to take a course to get functional consultant, then power platform developer but can't practice or build projects to show off to my new potential employers
