Microsoft Business Central learning sandbox environment

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Hussein Wahba 223
Hi Everyone,
 
I'm new to Microsoft business central, can I get a sandbox organization to learn and practice everything?
I found that I can create a 30-day free trial, but it needs a work account also it will expire, and I will not be able to practice anymore.
 
Any suggestions, even if there is a paid license for learning?

    If you are working at a Microsoft Partner you can purchase a partner sandbox your you can use a CDX envirornment.

    If you are not a Microsoft partner you can install Business Central in a Docker container using BC Container helper.
     
     
    You can read more about the BCContainer helper here.
     
    With Docker you can simulate running BC both online and OnPrem.
     
    Of course you can also contact a Microsoft Partner and purchase a single user paid license.
    But running BC on Docker is free for development and learning.

    https://yzhums.com/33868/
     
    Dynamics 365 Business Central is not available in this market (We’re sorry, but Dynamics 365 Business Central isn’t currently available for your account. Please check back later)
     
    In addition, you can also consider installing the on-pre version directly.
     
    Hope this helps as well.
    Thanks.
