Every 90 days, Microsoft will review your developing activities to decide if automatically renew your M365 developer subscription. In this video, I am showing how to make some developing activities through some M365 apps. It was based on recommendation from Reddit post. It does help my renewal so far. Hopefully it can help yours as well:
- Deploy LookBook templates on SharePoint - Setup Power Automate flow based on ready template - Setup Power Apps based on ready template - Deploy Power BI template from gallery
Be active and use the subscription to increase your chances to renew it. If you don’t succeed to renew it, you can just create a new ms account and apply again for the free dev program.
Microsoft is offering the 365 E5 subscription to “developers”. Regardless if you’re one or not, you can get the subscription for free. All you need is a microsoft account.
What’s included:
Access to the Microsoft subscription owner admin panel (admin.microsoft.com)
25 E5 dev licences with office 365 (desktop apps included)
5Tb of onedrive that can be upgraded to 25Tb if you are using more than 90% of your 5Tb by contacting the Microsoft support
The possibility to add custom domains to get for example your custom email address ([email protected])
Lots of other cool stuff, especially if you are a dev
For the next steps you can fill whatever you want it will work regardless your choices
Next, you’ll be asked to fill your admin accounts details. Note them down they will be really important (both the username and passwords can be changed later)
If requested, add your phone number to verify the account
Once everything is finished, click on go to subscription, login with the details you filled above.
Voilà, you have your own subscription with 5Tb of onedrive and the desktop apps of office 365 for up to 25 users

I have tried to upload almost 5tb of data (93percent) and called Microsoft to increase storage limit to higher than 5tb (or 25tb). however, they said that developer accounts is only limited to 5tb. you need to upgrade the account to get the 25tb.
