Hello,
I am aware that lab services will be closed in the near future and it won't support new account sign up last month.
So how do I set up a lab environment for my students? We are an accredited school and can pay for a better subscription instead of using the limited "free tier". Thanks

Hello,
No, my question was not answer. I am aware that the services is closing down. My question is, what other solutions can I use in the future? Is the partner route the only option?
