Have Visual Studio License. What good is it?

Posted on by mikers

I have a couple of days to build something with Power Automate.

I have an SQL DB on my developer PC so I want to cut down/out the learning curve and hassle of Dataverse.  I have triggers and SP and cross table queries etc.

 

The connectors option requires a premium subscription, does my MSDN license give me any pull here or do I have to spend the $15 and get  a premium license for a month?

 

thanks : -)

    @mikers,

    If you intend to use PowerAutomate for dev/test purposes only, you can use the PowerApps Developer Plan. Please find more following https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/power-apps/maker/developer-plan 

    Otherwise, yes, you need a Power Automate license to use premium connectors, the MSDN license is no help.
