as part of a small OSS project I am doing, dbt-unity-lineage, I need to enable Bring your own data lineage (Public Preview as of December 2025). But it seems you can't enable that Preview in either free edition or Trial?
I'd rather not use my employer's (substantial) Databricks platform, as I don't want to co-mingle my corporate work with my private OSS project.
Hey @fgeriksen , I did a bit of digging, and it looks like that feature isn’t available in Free Edition yet since it’s still in Public Preview. Even with trial workspaces, there’s no guarantee that Public Preview features will be enabled — it depends on whether the preview is supported in the given cloud and region, and whether the trial workspace was created on a Premium or Enterprise SKU.
Thanks, the trial is currently created as a Premium, did not see any options to choose otherwise. I tried use east and eu central, thinking it might have been a regional thing.
