Unable to Create Environments in Developer Plan

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 7

Hi,

I created a developer plan for the Power Platform for learning purposes. I tried many times to create an environment (trial, Sandbox,..) but was never successful and always get this message:

"This environment can't be created because your org (tenant) needs at least 1 GB of database capacity. Monitor capacity Learn more"

 

I only have simples apps that I created as I am going through the learning path and didn't upload any data. The capacity page looks like the attached screenshot. I didn't find anything in the description of the plan that says creating new environments is prohibited and I can't understand what 0 of 0MB used for database, files and logs mean. I appreciate any help or explanation you provide.

 

Regards

Ali

    You can't create new environments but you can use your Development Environment , so are you able to see your development environment as per the below screen shots:

    Hi Mira, thanks for the quick reply. I only have a default environment and two (of five) environments that I was able to create in Teams. I don't see a "Ali's Environment".

    @Mira_Ghaly Apparently I didn't have a Power Apps Developer plan, I had Power Apps for Office 365 plan. I subscribed to the Developer Plan and I can see the Development environment mentioned in the screenshot in your reply. Thanks for the help.

    I was wondering what kind of trial subscription provides the ability to create many environments so that I can learn how to use ALM.
