Signup using work email address blocked

Fabric needs a work email ID. But work email IDs have policies that block login to Fabric. How to get around it?

    Work / Enterprise email's can be used to activate the Microsoft Fabric trial if it is recognized by Microsoft as an organizational account (and is not blocked by policies). However, if you prefer to use a personal email, you can register a new or existing Microsoft account to enable the Fabric Trial.

    Details on how to access Microsoft Fabric for developers, startups and enterprises along with steps to setup a new Microsoft account can be viewed here (Note: this method requires setting up an M365 E5 subscription which will limit your ability to access the trial for a maximum of 30 days): https://blog.fabric.microsoft.com/blog/accessing-microsoft-fabric-for-developers-startups-and-enterprises?ft=All

    For a different method of how to setup a Fabric Trial without a business email address see (this method will allow you to access the trial for 60 days): https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6K4ADjkWjaY

    The second method doesn't work. It only provides "Pro" license at the end but no trail license. :-(

    Why Microsoft makes its licenses extremely difficult to work with?

    My issue was resoled and I can see the 60 days trail now. Thank you for your help.
