Business Central license for a student

(2) ShareShare

Posted on by 4
Hello Everyone.

I would like to purchase a Business Central license so that I can continue my education. I do not own a business, I do not work for someone who uses BC, I am not a student.

I used BC at work for 3 years and I am fascinated by it so much that I would like to follow this path. I would also like to obtain the MB-800 certification and to make this possible I need access to a version that will allow me to learn.

I am using the demo version but as you know it does not have all the functions (e.g. I cannot start a company).

I have sent two inquiries to Microsoft on this matter via the appropriate form and to this day I have not received any response.

I am asking for advice on what I should do in this matter so that I can obtain the D365 BC license.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions.

    The BC trial version is fine, and contains all functionality. You can even create a completely new company and use it for upto 90 days.
     
     
    After that, simply delete all non-Cronus companies, or create a new trial, using a different email adres, that you can create for free here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/business/compare-all-microsoft-365-business-products?&activetab=tab:primaryr2

    Thank you in advance for your suggestions. Writing academic papers can be a daunting task for many students, especially when balancing multiple assignments, exams, and personal responsibilities. Developing strong research and writing skills is essential for success in college and beyond. One of the most effective ways to improve is by practicing structured writing, using credible sources, and understanding proper citation methods. However, not every student has the time or expertise to craft a well-researched paper on their own. For those who need extra support, this platform offers valuable assistance: https://writearesearchpaperforme.com/ whether you need help with structuring your arguments, refining your thesis, or ensuring proper formatting, professional guidance can make the writing process smoother and more effective. Additionally, making use of university libraries, working with tutors, and engaging in study groups can significantly enhance your academic writing abilities. With the right resources and strategies, students can master the art of research paper writing and achieve their academic goals more efficiently.
    Since you’re not affiliated with a business or a school, getting a Business Central (BC) license for personal use can be tricky. Microsoft doesn’t typically offer standalone licenses for individual learners. You can consider: Microsoft CSP Partners – Some Cloud Solution Providers (CSPs) offer Business Central access for training or demo purposes. You could reach out to a BC-focused CSP and inquire about a test environment.

    The Trial version includes almost all functions, except for some functions such as environment backup, environment transfer, etc.
    PS: 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)
     
    Thanks.
