How to – Setup a free trial of Dynamics 365 Marketing

If we already have a Microsoft 365 / Dynamics 365 tenant, we can directly request the trial for Dynamics 365 Marketing from Microsoft 365 Admin Center https://admin.microsoft.com through Purchase services > Dynamics 365 Marketing option.

And within Power Platform Admin Center https://admin.powerplatform.microsoft.com/, we can navigate to Dynamics 365 Apps >> Dynamics 365 Marketing Application solution and select Manage.

Here Dynamics 365 Marketing Application is the full application with both the solution and the services and Dynamics 365 Marketing Solution Only provides the entities without services.

Select the appropriate Dynamics 365 Organization.

Provide the address and click on Setup

After a few minutes, the setup would complete.

Take me to the app will open the Dynamics 365 Marketing App.

We can also set up Microsoft 365 Tenant or Dynamics 365 trial https://trials.dynamics.com/

(in case if we do not have one).

Microsoft recommends to sign up for Microsoft 365 E3 Trial

After the tenant is set up, go to Get started with Dynamics 365 Marketing page to set up the free trial.

https://dynamics.microsoft.com/en-us/get-started/free-trial/?appname=marketing

Here we provided the existing tenant’s account used.

Once the setup is done, the same sign up now options takes you to the instance picker page

Clicking on Open asks for an address.

Clicking on Begin opens the Dynamics 365 Marketing App.

namespace CrmAppMSAL
{
class Program
{
static async Task Main(string[] args)
{

string clientId = "fc34502a-74db-4977-8c83-***********";
string secret = "5~mByJeQ8dDO2LZP_H_J2**********";
string[] scope = new string[] { "https://orgname.crm15.dynamics.com/.default" };
string webAPI = "https://[org].crm15.dynamics.com//api/data/v9.0/leads";
string authority = "https://login.microsoftonline.com/7bc93881-0733-48ab-baa1-ee3ed7717633";

var clientApp = ConfidentialClientApplicationBuilder.Create(clientId: clientId)
.WithClientSecret(clientSecret: secret)
.WithAuthority(new Uri(authority))
.Build();

try
{
AuthenticationResult authResult = await clientApp.AcquireTokenForClient(scope).ExecuteAsync();

var httpClient = new HttpClient();
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-MaxVersion", "4.0");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Add("OData-Version", "4.0");
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Accept.Add(new MediaTypeWithQualityHeaderValue("application/json"));
httpClient.DefaultRequestHeaders.Authorization = new AuthenticationHeaderValue("Bearer", authResult.AccessToken);

httpClient.BaseAddress = new Uri(webAPI);

var response = httpClient.GetAsync("WhoAmI").Result;

if (response.IsSuccessStatusCode)
{
var userDetails = response.Content.ReadAsStringAsync().Result;
Console.WriteLine(userDetails);
Console.WriteLine(authResult.AccessToken);
Console.WriteLine(authResult.ExpiresOn);
Console.ReadLine();
}

}
catch (Exception ex)
{
string errorMessage = ex.Message;
