D365FO Demo VM

Hi All,

Thank you for the replies from MuthukumaranAX and Martin Dráb on my earlier question related to D365FO Sandbox. Much appreciated.

Now I downloaded D365FO Demo VM VHD from Shared Asset Library from my work login.

I want to set it up in my personal Laptop ( My Laptop is meeting the minimum requirements for this ).

Now my question is, when I setup the Demo VM do I need to ( Must ) login from same work login?

I don't want to use my work login as I am worried that Microsoft may charge for any of my actions in the Demo VM. I don't want my Office to get surprises because of my work.

I have other Onmicrosoft a/c for Powerplatform Admin login, which is personal login. Can I use this personal login instead?

Or, can I create a new Onmicrosoft a/c specifically for this purpose and use it?

Kind Regards,

Venkat

If you are going to use VM VHD then you need not use your work id.

Your work credentials are required if you deploy a VM through LCS and not for VM VHD (downloaded from asset library)

Hy,

this should work with personal mail account. I don't know the details on the current F&O VM, but in former times it works in this was:

When the VM is started with the Admin Login, there should be a "Admin user provisioning" program or so on the desktop. This will ask you for a Mailaccount that will be prepared to login to the local F&O with these given Mailaccount.

Hope this helps

Hi Venkat,

Is your question answered? If so, please mark the correct reply/replies.

Note that if you are using a downloaded VHD, there will be no Dynamics 365 licenses invoiced by Microsoft. Other software programs on the VM, like Windows and SQL server, are time-limited evaluation licenses. If you want to use Visual Studio, you would need to have a valid license.
