    Hello, @JeffRooks

    To create a database, you first need to either create an environment, or be assigned to an existing environment as an Environment Admin. In addition, you must be assigned the appropriate license.

    AhmedSalih, Thank you for your response.

     

    I am an environment admin and you have a Power App plan 2 license.

     

    Any ideas?

     

    Thanks again. Jeff

    @JeffRooks, when your environment was created, was created with Dynamics365 apps?

    AhmedSalih,

     

    No, my environment was not created with Dynamics365 Apps.

     

    Thanks again for your assistance. Jeff

    @JeffRooks, that is a strange error. One thing you can do, just to eliminate all possibilities is to make sure that your environment is up to dat from the Admin Center > Environments > Select your environment > Update.

    If that did resolve the issue, from the Admin Center open a support ticket:

    Hi AhmedSalih,

     

    I followed the path to get to the Update, but no Update button was available.

     

    So if you don't have any other ideas, I will open a support ticket.

     

    Thanks again for your replies. Jeff

    I am receiving the same error.  It is a Sanbox D365 Finance environment that I want to add a Dataverse database to.  I an am environment admin and have PowerApps licensing.  Have you found anything that works to resolve this?

    Hello MattBorkowski,

    I have not found a resolution to this error yet and did not submit a support ticket to Microsoft as recommended by AhmedSalih in this communication.

     

    Since you are receiving the error also, you may want to create a support ticket to Microsoft as recommended by AhmedSalih.

     

    Thanks Jeff Rooks

    Hi @JeffRooks , @MattBorkowski 

    This is because it's a D365 Finance and Operations (F&O) environment. To add a Dataverse instance, you'll need to do it from Dynamics LCS (the lifecycle services management tool for F&O). Hope this helps!
