If you have visited the https://trials.dynamics.com website and started a Dynamics 365 Business Central trial, you might think there are some premium features missing like Manufacturing and Service Management. Until recently, it was instructed to go through a CSP Provider to get access to the premium Dynamics 365 Business Central trial. Now, it’s only a quick search and a couple clicks away.

Setting Up Your Dynamics 365 Business Central Trial

If you are a Microsoft Partner, you can visit https://cdx.transform.microsoft.com and request a new Microsoft 365 Business Demo Content tenant environment to create a brand new demo tenant. From there, you can go to https://trials.dynamics.com and add the new credentials for the Dynamics 365 Business Central Trial.

If you are a Microsoft Customer, you will want to add the trial to your existing Microsoft Tenant. To do this, go to https://trials.dynamics.com and add your Microsoft login ID when requesting a Business Central Trials.

In both cases, you will need to complete the required steps to proceed and you will have access to Dynamics 365 Business Central Essentials Trial environment.
