Unable to start free trial for Azure AD P1 or P2 subscription


I am using a free Azure account based on MSDN subscription. I get 50$ monthly credit in this account.

I am trying to start Azure AD P1/P2 free trial but not seeing any option. Is this option disabled for my account ? How can I validate that ? I know this free trial can be started once per account and I have not used it?

I was looking at a video and in that video author is seeing option to start free trial. enter image description here
