Hey all! I am trying to learn Azure and I created a free account yesterday. I got to my first exercise yesterday -> Exercise - Create a website hosted in Azure
I didn't know at the time, but that automatically created a sandbox. Today, when I tried to login, I got an error message telling me that the sandbox has not been activated. I checked my email and found it there, and I activated the sandbox.
Problem is, it was activated without a subscription - meaning that I can't use it. I saw this on the exercise page:
Email is required to activate a sandbox
Your Microsoft account must be linked to a valid email to activate a sandbox. Go to Microsoft Account Settings to link your email and try again.
For more information, please check the troubleshooting guidance page.
OK... I clicked on Retry activating sandbox, it showed me a message stating that an improper use of the sandbox was detected and that I risk getting banned - I reloaded the page and saw the earlier error message.
Now, when I click on Retry activating sandbox, it does nothing... I do see a 400 error in the browser console though :(
Does anyone know what I need to do to fix this? I am blocked and can't continue with the learning module.
