I have created a Business Central trial instance and now I want to connect it with Visual Studio Code for development. However, in my trial account I cannot see the Admin Center or the Environment details.

Can anyone please guide me on how to connect a Business Central trial account with VS Code and start coding/extensions development?

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Hello,

You don’t need the Admin Center just to start AL development; install Visual Studio Code, install the AL Language extension, create a new AL project, and in launch.json use a cloud sandbox configuration with environmentType = "Sandbox" and usually environmentName = "Sandbox"; then download symbols and sign in with the same trial user. If your trial opened only the demo company and no sandbox/admin center is visible, use Microsoft’s Business Central sandbox signup link or ask the tenant admin to create/give access to a sandbox, because development from VS Code should target a sandbox, not the demo production environment.
