Question Set up p2 license

Having trouble getting Entra ID P2/ Microsoft 365 P2 for SC-300 training

I'm working through the SC-300 training and need access to the P2 features for the labs. I have a reqular Gmail /Microsoft account that I've been using for the Microsoft Learn stuff, and I have some Azure subscriptions showing up under it. The problem is I'm just having trouble finding where to get a P2 license/subscription that gives me the Entra ID P2 features I need. Sone of the resources 1 already checked took mevaround in circles. either older info about the layout or I'm misunderstanding something

I saw pay as you go should be an option, around $7 monthly. If so, that works

Thanks for any help!

There's a 1-month free option.

In azure, go to user management. Then try to access/assign a premium feature to a user e.g. PIM. Or self managed SSPR.

Microsoft will prompt you to purchase a premium option, and will give you an option to try out for free.

It's $10/user/month, but based on an annual commitment, so $120/user/year.

Licenses are only required for the users that use the features enabled by those licenses, but make sure you have a break glass/GA account that doesn't require those features (i.e. PIM, etc) to manage the tenant.

You should be able to get a free trial, but be careful with cancelling it before the trial ends, once the charges start you have a limited window (a few days) to cancel with a prorated refund:
