Additionally, for more insight, I recommend reviewing the Microsoft 365 Developer Program FAQ, especially the following sections, for detailed eligibility information:
- Who qualifies for a Microsoft 365 E5 developer subscription?
- What account can I use to sign up for the Microsoft 365 Developer Program?
Based on the information in those sections, the E5 developer subscription is primarily available to:
- Visual Studio Professional or Enterprise subscribers (automatic qualification)
- Companies in ISV Success / Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program eligible tiers
- Organizations with Premier or Unified Support (via their Microsoft contacts)
Best regards.
