Posted on by 198

Hi there, i had signup to Microsoft Office 365 trail version. I would  like to setup Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and operation Trail version for learning and practice purpose.  I can able to see Dynamics 365 page but i am not sure how to set up an development environment and  other stuff. I can able to login to Microsoft LCS as well. Please guide me in setting up Dynamics 365 FO trail version step by step. I would like to have below mentioned for practice :  

Dynamics AX Front End  which consists of Dashboard and all the required modules in it

Dynamics AX Back end (Visual Studio)

Thanks in advance.

    Basically you're not satisfied with the trial environment (where you can try F&O) and you want a development environment instead, correct?

    Are you associated with an implementation partner or an end-user company with F&O licenses?

    By the way, Visual Studio is used for development. The back end are server-side services such as the database server, not Visual Studio.

    Hi premK6969,

    Access to LCS alone, does not mean you have access to Dynamics 365 environments.

    You can sign up for Dynamics 365 Finance and Operations full previews using the next link: docs.microsoft.com/.../sign-up-preview-subscription

    To setup demo or development D365F&O trial environment, you need both D365F&O trial subscription and Azure  subcription

    1. Sign up Azure subscription first, so you will have your own AAD tenant

    2. Follow docs.microsoft.com/.../sign-up-preview-subscription to sign up D365F&O trail subscription, once it's completed. You should be able to see it in Office 365 admin portal

    3. Follow docs.microsoft.com/.../arm-onboarding to complete ARM
