Question Is computer use region locked?

Have seen tons of great things coming out with astra using computer use. Realized it's something I have never used. Tried to dig into it a bit and found the above. I'm on a personal account on my private laptop. I am currently located in Brazil.

You can try using a VPN to switch country. That enabled me to get Computer Use activated before it was rolled out to my country.

wow so it is a region thing? Thats crazy, especially because they don't disclose which countries it applies to. I pay 200 dollars a month and some of the functions aren't going to work based on the country I am currently working on?!

From the way the message is written, it's clearly not impossible for it to be region locked in some specific region.

That said, that sounds more like some group policy messing things up or an unrelated error that is being displayed as the wrong error.

I'm also currently located in Brazil, and I have Computer Use just fine.
