Database Capacity while creating new Environment

[Rajesh365]

Hi All, 

I was trying to implement a Demo ALM by creating 3 environments and since an environment creation requires at least 1 GB of database capacity, procuring a Per User Power App license or buying Add On Database capacity would be needed in the scenario. 

I tried adding the Free Trial of Per User license which have a 30 day trial of 25 licenses. However, it has not added the database capacity while I look in the admin center(https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/resources/capacity) . Its been an hour since I added the trial per user license. 

So just wanted to check, does not the trial per user license provide the database capacity ?

Thanks in advance !

Hi @Rajesh365 ,

Unfortunately since the licensing model changed last year, trial licenses no longer allocate Dataverse capacity. 

You will need to either purchase the license or a Dataverse add on through the M365 admin centre. Please note that Dataverse is still called Common Data Service in the M365 admin portal, and it's actually cheaper to procure Per User licenses than purchasing a Dataverse add on.

IF this answer helps, please mark it as a solution to help future forum visitors 😊

Thank you
