Windows 10: Cannot install Minecraft Trial

I am trying to install a trial of Minecraft. I keep getting the message : "It looks like you don’t have any applicable device(s) linked to your Microsoft account. To install, sign in on a device with your Microsoft account."


I have two pcs listed under devices in my Microsoft account. Both are above minimum spec.


Any idea what's wrong?

Homegroup For Minecraft Servers Or What?


It looks as if the existing minecraft server will use the new system without modification - It needs to be able to access the computers on the network in a two way link, which is the standard for Workgroup and Homegroup

There is a complete step by step available, if you have any issues ...

It's not something I have any direct experience with but a quick read suggests to me that you will not need to do Much if any reconfiguration of the existing server

 

Minecraft gets stuck in trial mode

I’ve purchased Minecraft for Windows 10 from the
Windows Store, it is the basic version. But this basic version got stuck on a trial version. It is weird because I haven’t installed the trial version

 

Minecraft Windows 10 Edition stuck on trial after redeeming the code and it working for a while

Recently, I wanted to try crossplay with my siblings and when I opened up Minecraft Windows 10 Edition, it kept saying it was in trial mode, even though it had worked fine before. It keeps telling me to buy the game even though I already owned it. A weird
quirk though is that when I look at it now on the microsoft store, it says "install trial", which I find strange.

Troubleshooting steps I have done:

Uninstall and Reinstall (twice)

Reboot the game (three times)

Check that I'm on the right microsoft account

Any suggestions?
