Hey everyone! I'm currently preparing for the AZ-104 exam and I've hit a bit of a snag. I've noticed that some features in Entra ID, like Conditional Access and group-based app assignments, require a Premium license. Unfortunately, I'm only on the free tier right now and can't upgrade at the moment. This leads me to a few questions: Do I actually need to use these Premium features to pass the exam, or is it sufficient to understand them conceptually? Will the exam have questions that expect hands-on experience with tools that are only available with a Premium license? If anyone has passed the exam while using just the free tier, I'd love to hear how you managed to navigate labs featuring Premium features. Thanks a lot!

You can totally pass the AZ-104 without ever logging into Azure! While it does help to follow along practically, it's not a must. Just focus on the theoretical aspects, and you'll be fine.
Thanks for your input! I'm really curious—how did you manage to remember the steps or configurations if you didn’t practice them hands-on? I find it tough to remember exact processes (like setting up a storage account) without going through the portal myself. Did you have any tricks like using flashcards or watching videos?
