Hello, I registered for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program using my company email ******@dcdpmsolutions.com. During setup, I received the message: “You don’t currently qualify for a Microsoft 365 Developer Program sandbox subscription” (Correlation ID: 00000000-be18-43dc-8eb9-6963033555ea Code: 40901).

Can you please enable the Developer Program sandbox for my account or reset my eligibility? I need the sandbox to access Power Automate, Copilot Studio, and other Microsoft 365 developer tools for learning and development.
