Hi,<br />
<br />
I have an Exchange 2016 lab and I want to test the whole migration to O365. I just have few test mailboxes in my lab (10 users). Like the Exchange license is free for trial until 180 days. I just wondering is O365 access is the same. Can I have a access to O365 for free too for testing purpose? I want to do the whole migration steps to be prepared for the real one and it will be my proof of concept at the same time.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Is O365 is free for migration testing?
