How to enable recurring payments for sandbox account?

Last time I used sandbox, I enabled it by request on https://www.x.com/developers/paypal/forums/paypal-sandbox/enable-reference-transaction-sandbox Thread is locked and it points to developer.paypal.com. I created there test accounts, and even imported old accounts from old version of sandbox. But I can't find how to enable recurring payments, as it's disabled by default.

So, how could I test recurring payments?

I have set this up before

I searched around and found some instructions

  1. Create a test account as a normal seller, not pro, via the deveoper.paypal.com interface
  2. Log into the sandbox (sandbox.paypal.com) using the new test account
  3. Make sure you are in the My Account section of the site by clicking the My Account main menu tab
  4. Click on the sub menu "Profile"
  5. Under the Financial Information column click the link for "Recurring payments dashboard" 6 .On the right hand side click the link for "Sign up for Enhanced Recurring Payments"
  6. Click the Agree and Continue button

This link shows how to implement it:
