Is "Sandbox Only" Subscription Available ?

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Dear Community Members,

I am planning to develop a Dynamics CRM Utility which would work on both On-Premise and Online (365) Platforms.

For development purposes, I have a local On-Premise version available but need to setup a 365 Instance.

I won't be using 365 in my Business, so don't need a Production Instance\Subscription, just need a Sandbox for QA\Testing of my Utility.

I am aware of the Trail Instance offered by Microsoft but since that doesn't last beyond 30 days (... 60 when extending), I am looking for a plan through which I can retain the instance for a longer duration because this will be an evolving utility whose development cycle may last up to an year.

Accordingly, can anyone please tell me if a subscription plan is available for meeting this requirement ?

I have the same question (0)

    Hi Umang,

    In one subscription you get two instances. one sandbox and one production. As far as i know there is no provision to get just one trial.

    I would recommend you speak to microsoft support and explain the situation.
