To create a new free account, use a different email address (both for the admin and for each user).

No, all users in your organization must be upgraded and will have access to the full version of Teams and all Microsoft 365 services. Learn more about upgrading from Teams free to a paid subscription (for admins).
-
Yes, you can purchase Teams Essentials through any cloud solution provider. When purchased through a provider, Microsoft Teams Essentials with Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) Identity includes additional features at the same price as Teams Essentials purchased from our website.
