Visual Studio Professional and Enterprise subscribers qualify for a Microsoft 365 E5 developer subscription that renews automatically for as long as you remain a subscriber. When you join the program as a Visual Studio subscriber, you can set up a developer sandbox subscription that is linked to your Visual Studio subscription. It will not be subject to expiration due to inactivity (or our failure to detect activity that is not in scope for renewal monitoring).

Any paid Visual Studio subscriber qualifies for a subscription that renews automatically. We are currently piloting a new verification process that will allow more member types to qualify for a subscription. The new process will enable developer program members to request a Microsoft 365 E5 subscription, go through a validation process, and receive an invitation to set up a subscription. For the latest updates, including when the new verification process will be broadly available, follow the [Microsoft 365 developer blog](https://devblogs.microsoft.com/microsoft365dev/tag/microsoft-365-developer-program/).

Your subscription is good for 90 days and is renewable based on valid developer activity. If you're using your subscription for development, it will be renewed regularly. You can find the expiration date, along with your subscription name, on your [Microsoft 365 Developer Program dashboard](https://aka.ms/DevProgramDashboard).

In April 2019, we transitioned to a new model where your subscription can be renewed perpetually every 90 days if you're actively using it for development. We believe that this model ensures that developers who are actively developing solutions have a subscription for as long as they need one. If you're developing frequently, your subscription never expires; it is automatically extended. If you qualify for a subscription and you're developing for a short time, and your subscription expires due to inactivity and is deleted, you can set up a new one.
