Extend a trial (subscription-based) environment
The expiration of subscription-based trial (also know as an admin trial) environments is tied to the expiration of the subscription. Therefore, subscription-based trial environments cannot be independently extended. There are limited options for extending admin trial subscriptions which affects extending the expiration of any associated trial environments.
To extend a subscription-based (admin) trial:
Admins can request a single extension in the Microsoft 365 admin center. See https://docs.microsoft.com/microsoft-365/commerce/extend-your-trial?view=o365-worldwide
There is only one self-service extension allowed per offer-based trial environment. To further retain the environment, it must be converted to production.
