### How many databases can I provision?
179-
Each user can provision databases in two Trial environments and two Production environments, depending on their license. The user needs to an **Environment Admin** in the environment.
179+
### Which license includes Common Data Service?
180+
PowerApps Plan 2. See [PowerApps pricing page][3] for details on all the plans that include this license.
181+
182+
### While trying to create a new environment, I am getting an error. How should I resolve it?
183+
If you are getting the following error message: "Either your plan doesn’t support the environment type selected or you’ve reached the limit for that type of environment." , it can mean one of the two things
184+
185+
1. You have already utilized your quota to create a specific type of environments. Say you were creating a Trial environment and you get this error message. That means, that you have already provisioned two Trial environments. You can view all the environments in [PowerApps admin center][1].
186+
If you want, you can delete an existing environment of that specific type and create a new one. But, please make sure that you don't lose your data, apps, flows and other resources which you want to retain.
187+
188+
2. You do not have a quota to create that specific type of the environment. Check what type of environment you can create [here](environments-overview.md#creating-an-environment).
189+
190+
If you are getting any other error message or have more questions, please connect with us [here][5].
191+
192+
### While trying to create a database in an environment, I am getting an error. How should I resolve it?
193+
In following scenarios, you can get an error while trying to create a database:
194+
195+
1. **Default environment**: Creating a database is currently not supported in a default environment of the tenant.
196+
197+
2. **Environment for an individual use**: You get an environment for your individual use, by signing-up from the PowerApps Community Plan. If you have not created the database yet, then currently you can't provision a database in the environment for individual use.
198+
199+
3. **Environment in a different region, than your AAD tenant's home region**: Currently, you can only provision a database in the environments created in your Azure Active Directory Tenant home region. Ability to provision a database in the other regions, will be coming soon. So, make sure to keep the region same as tenant's default ___location, if you want to create a database in it.
200+
201+
4. **Creating databases not supported in certain regions**: There are certain regions, where creating databases is still not available. e.g. countries in South America. So, if your tenant's home ___location is South America, you currently can't provision a database in any environment.
202+
203+
We are working on enabling all of the above scenarios.
204+
If you are getting any other error message or have more questions, please connect with us [here][5]
205+
206+
### When will my Trial environment expire?
207+
Trial environment expires after 30 days of its creation. If you don't want your environment to expire, there will be ways to convert it into a Production environment. This functionality, will be coming soon and we will not expire Trial environments till then.
208+
209+
### Does my current database (created with previous version of the Common Data Service) also gets counted in the quota?
210+
If you had a database (created with previous version of the Common Data Service), they will also get counted with your Production environment quota. If you now create a database in an environment (created prior to March 15, 2018) then it will also get counted as Production environment.
