Hello,
I am currently doing the MS-900 Microsoft 365 Fundamentals: Describe Microsoft 365 apps and services and on the Explore Microsoft 365 tenant part of the learning course it asks us to Join the Microsoft 365 developer program. After I joined it gives me the following message: Thank you for joining. You don't current qualify for a Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox subscription. I am just trying to access the sandbox to continue learning and following the directions in the Explore Microsoft 365 tenant part of the learning. Can someone help me out?

Hello @kguntaka , I'm experiencing the same problem as the person above and I'm getting the message "Thank you for joining. You don't current qualify for a Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox subscription." I checked out the blog you referenced in your answer above but there is not a status on this issue. Can you please provide a status of when you plan to allow us access again to the Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox subscription? Thank you so much in advance for your help!

Hi mobu,
Microsoft currently limiting access to the Microsoft 365 developer subscription to developers and/or organizations with active subscriptions to Visual Studio Enterprise.
If you don’t currently qualify for a developer subscription with your Visual Studio Enterprise Subscription, you have the option to purchase a single license for a Microsoft 365 plan and set it up for development purposes.
