Create featured set of content in Viva Learning - Unit 4

Question

I have tried to follow the exercise "Create featured set of content in Viva Learning" using my 365 Developer sandbox, but couldn't get over unit 4, because it looks, like my MS 365 Developer E5 does not support Viva Learning Premium as I don't get Custom Uploads checkbox. I cannot request the required license too. What can I do to progress with the exercise?

Hi Leszek Jaczewski,

Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A platform. 
Premium license is required for custom uploads in Viva Learning. This feature allows employees to upload their own content to SharePoint from within the platform, and it is part of the additional functionalities that come with the Viva Learning Premium license. If you want to create learning paths or utilize advanced features, you will need either a Viva Learning Premium license or a Viva Suite license. Here are the key points regarding licensing for custom uploads:

License Requirements for Custom Uploads:

• Premium License Needed: To enable the custom uploads feature in Viva Learning, a premium license is necessary.
• Admin Permissions: In addition to the premium license, you also need admin or knowledge manager permissions to create and manage learning paths and upload content.
• Standard Features: Without the premium license, users can still access basic features of Viva Learning, but custom uploads and advanced functionalities will be restricted.
