Converting PowerApps Trail environtment to Production

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Rajath_mk 95

Hi,

 

I have developed a Model-Driven app for my organisation using the trial environment (Standard). Management is fine with it and is okay with the cost. I went to purchase licenses, it said I don't have the correct admin privileges. Does this mean I would not be able to convert this trial environment to production either?

 

If so, what permissions do I need to ask my admin to give to my account to purchase, develop, and administer PowerApps? I couldn't find much information on this page- https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/power-platform/admin/trial-environments 

 

If someone could point me in the right direction. Thank you.

    Hi,
    to purchase licenses is not required to use a Production Environment, althought recommeded.

     

    To buy licenses to need to be a Global Admin of your M365 tenant and go to the M365 Admin Center: https://admin.microsoft.com/#/licenses

     

    To convert a Trial environment in Production, you must have the environment Admin at least:

    Hello,

     

    Sign in to the Power Platform admin center with admin credentials.

    Go to Environments > [select a trial environment] > Convert to production.

    Select Continue.

     

    Obs: 
    The organization (tenant) admin can determine who's allowed to create trial environments and convert them to production. If you're allowed to, and you have 1 GB of available production database capacity, you can convert a trial environment to production. You might need to free up or purchase additional capacity if the trial environment database exceeds available production capacity. To determine the size of the trial environment database, see Dataverse storage capacity.
