Can I create multiple Demo D365 environments, or would I be limited to one environment for 30 days and after this no more? I'm working on a new blog with some articles related to D365, and I need environments to build and test D365 components. These don't need to live long and will only be used for development, even if I drop one in 30 days I hoped to verify I can spin-up another one after.

Thanks.

Hi, yes you can create multiple trials after the existing trial ends. But a thing to remember is all you customizations and configurations regarding d365 components will be lost with every trail trial environment expiry.

1. Sign in to the [Power Platform admin center](https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/).

2. Select **Environments** > **+ New**.

3. Fill in the information about your environment.

   - **Name**: Enter a unique name for the environment.

   - **Type**: Select the type of environment you want to create. For a demo environment, you would typically select "Trial".

   - **Region**: Select the geographic location for your environment.

   - **Purpose**: Enter a description of the environment.

4. Click **Next**.

5. If you want to create a database for this environment, turn on the **Create a database for this environment?** toggle. Fill in the information about your database.

6. Click **Save**.

Hey!

There's a small limitation: You can't create more than 5 trial environments per subscription.

Hi Partner,

Of course, you can!

In Dynamics 365, free environment is trial type.

1)You can wait for the trial period to end and then sign up again for a new trial.

2)You can extend the trial for another trial period in the admin center.

Refer to the following documentation for more details about trial environment:

I hope you can mark my answer verified if it is helpful! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Leah
