E5 Developer License: no power platform capacity

Posted on by AlexRies

Hi all,

I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I signed up for my E5 Office Development benefit from my MSDN (erm my visual studio) subscription. It seems to provision everything quite nicely, but when I go to the platform admin center I'm seeing that I have 0 available capacity and I'm 50000% (give or take a few thousand) over my capacity with just the default org.

So my questions:

* Even though I have 25 licenses for this, none are counting towards capacity? That's weird but I'd like an explanation since Power Platform per User is included in this license

* Is this then expected behaviour: should I ignore it and just use my default org to do whatever I need to do?

Side note: I've gone through this provisioning twice over the past 4 days (the first time 4 days ago, the second today) the first I created still has 0 capacity so it's not a patience issue.

Hi @AlexRies,

I have an M365 E5 dev subscription through Visual Studio enterprise subscription, which I'm presuming is the same you have.

This subscription unfortunately doesn't come with any premium per user licenses as far as I'm aware. You can keep provisioning trial environments every 30 days however, that is what I do currently.

Make sure to assign the users the trial licenses.

Provisioning trial environments every 30 days I'm assuming you do that outside of the E5 dev and you just go the usual trial environment request route? Because I can't even create a trial org in the E5 dev. The CDX route of getting trials worked OK for me and it showed me a similar setup, but it added a new non-default org which is great and something I can work with 😉

I was just hoping I found something new, especially since there is an Power Apps Office E5 license: you'd think that'd give some capacity...

Hi @AlexRies,

I was able to create a trial environment in the E5 developer tenant. Every user that I created and assigned a licensed allowed me to create an additional trial environment concurrently.

There is a base capacity provided in the tenant when you initially provision the first Dynamics 365 license or Premium Power Apps / Power Automate license, then additional storage gets added for each license. The Power Apps license with M365 just provides access to standard connectors/features.

Yeah it looks like the "base capacity" isn't allocated, nor are the additional licenses in the E5 developer environment (for me anyway). I'm not sure if it's by design, but it's preventing me from even creating a "Trial (subscription only)" environment. I created another tenant through CDx and it works fine and I've got 2 subscription trials in there with no issue, though it too; shows there's 0 GB of capacity.

Hi @AlexRies,

Try creating a Trial (non-subscription) environment in your E5 environment. Trial environments don't count toward base capacity so you should be able to regardless if you have 0gb base capacity.
