You currently do not have a user license that allows you to publish in Copilot Studio

Working through the Agent Academy Lab 3.1, I am now hitting this issue when trying to publish my 3rd Agent ( see attachment). After rechecking my licenses, I have Microsoft : CoPilot Studio virial Trial , E5 Developer and Power Apps Premium.

. I think the workaround is to keep test all Agents in draft status.

Ah looks like the Trial license no longer allows you to publish your agents. Therefore, I will need a CoPilot Studio User License or a Tenant-level Copilot Studio License. It's like going to a car showroom and told you can test drive the chosen car, but you not allowed to move it out of the showroom!

@westerdaled,

As a agent maker, If you want to publish a copilot studio agents you need a Copilot Studio User license. Previously this blocker wasn't there now Microsoft have updated this.

Hi @westerdaled,

You can publish the agents in an environment with a PAYG enabled for Copilot Studio, without assigning a per User license or a tenant-wide. You will still have a cost, but you won't have a monthly commitment and can control the quantity of operations to minimize it.

Let me know if it works for you or if you need any additional help!

Thanks, following up on your link, I realised I had some CoPlot credits and once I allocated these to the dev environment, I was able to publish the Agent.

Thanks for your suggestion. I did look into these but it turns out PAYG is only applicable to Sandbox and Production environments. I noticed a few of these environments in my dev tenant were disabled. So I went down rabit hole of trying to enable these both through the UI and PowerShell. I happy to describe this in a separate post.

Set-AdminPowerAppEnvironmentRuntimeState `

-EnvironmentName <envId> `

-RuntimeState Enabled `

-BackgroundOperationsState Enabled
