    Important

    To cancel your free trial any time and stop future charges, turn off recurring billing. If you don't turn off recurring billing, after your one-month free trial ends, the system charges you with the applicable subscription fee. If your trial subscription doesn't have a payment method associated with it, you can let it expire at the end of the trial period so that the system doesn't charge you. If you need more time, you can extend the trial for a certain period that's mentioned on your product page. If you no longer need the trial, you can cancel the subscription.

Congratulations, you've now obtained and assigned Microsoft Fabric licenses for relevant users.

  1. Sign in to Microsoft 365 admin center with your admin credentials.
