MONTHLY AZURE CREDIT FOR VISUAL STUDIO PROFESSIONAL SUBSCRIBERS

Try out different Azure services, experiment and learn.

Create development environments whenever you need to.

Great for individual dev/test workloads.

GETTING STARTED

As a Visual Studio Professional, you’ve got the power of the cloud at your
command. Azure’s integrated tools, pre-built templates, and managed services
make it easier to build and manage enterprise, mobile, web, and Internet of
Things (IoT) apps faster, using skills you already have and technologies you
already know.

Activate your $50 monthly credit today!


NO CREDIT CARD REQUIRED

When you set up your monthly Azure credit for the first time, you are not
required to provide any credit card information. Even if you choose to store
credit card information in your account, you automatically start with a $0
spending limit, so there’s no risk of any charges until you’re ready.


LOW DEV/TEST RATES HELP YOU STRETCH YOUR CREDIT FURTHER

Use the Microsoft software included with your Visual Studio subscription on
Azure Virtual Machines for dev/test at no extra cost – you’ll just pay the Linux
rate for the VMs that you run, even VMs with SQL Server, SharePoint Server or
other software that is normally billed at a higher rate. Upload custom virtual
machine images yourself, or use one of our pre-configured images from the Azure
Gallery.

In addition to the low dev/test rates on VMs, you also receive low rates on
Cloud Services, HDInsight and Web Apps.


ACCESS TO WINDOWS 10

When you set up your monthly Azure credit, you can run Windows 10 images on
Azure for dev/test.


WHAT TO BUY WITH YOUR MONTHLY CREDIT

Use your monthly credit toward Azure services, including:

 * Cloud Services
 * Content Delivery Network
 * HDInsight
 * Media Services
 * Mobile Services
 * SQL Databases
 * Storage
 * Virtual Machines
 * Web Apps feature of Azure App Service

The following products and services are billed and don’t qualify for the monthly
credit:

 * Application Insights
 * Support plans
 * Visual Studio subscriptions
 * Visual Studio Team Services

Products that are sold separately from Azure (such as Microsoft Azure Active
Directory Premium) or through Azure Marketplace, and third-party branded
products, are also billed and don’t qualify for the monthly credit.


AZURE FOR YOUR DEV TEAM

While the monthly Azure credit for Visual Studio Professional is great for your
personal dev/test workloads, it isn’t optimal for work you’re doing as a team.
Thankfully, we’ve created a couple of options for you to get lower dev/test
rates and access to Windows 10 for dev/test, along with other advantages:

Enterprise Dev/Test: If your organisation has an Enterprise Agreement (EA)
purchasing contract with Microsoft

Pay-as-you-go Dev/Test: If you don’t have an EA


OFFER DETAILS


DEV/TEST RATES ON SELECT SERVICES

All Windows and Windows Server Virtual Machines, Cloud Services, Web Apps and
HDInsight are discounted relative to the published Pay-as-you-go rates. The rate
on these services is equal to the rate for a Linux virtual machine of the same
size and type. For example:

 * A Windows Server/Medium (A2)/Basic Instance virtual machine is billed at the
   Linux/Medium (A2)/Basic Instance virtual machine rate.
 * A Websites/Large (L)/Standard is billed at the Linux/Large (A3)/Standard
   Instance virtual machine rate.
 * A HDInsight Head Node (on an Extra-large A4 instance) is billed at the
   Linux/Extra-large (A4)/Standard Instance virtual machine rate.


ADDITIONAL TERMS

If you remove the Spending Limit, charges will be incurred at the Pay-as-you-go
pricing. If you maintain the Spending Limit and you use your monthly credit in
full, or you use any service that is excluded from payment by monthly credit,
your subscription will be suspended for the remainder of the billing period.

You will be notified at least 30 days in advance of any increases to the rates.

Any taxes which may result from receiving services at no charge are the sole
responsibility of the recipient.

You must maintain an active Visual Studio Professional subscription to enjoy
this benefit. This offer is limited to one per subscriber.

You will not facilitate, engage in or participate in any use of Azure services,
for crypto currency mining, denial of service attacks, spamming or illegal
activity, and/or any use that could cause harm to Microsoft or others, and will
enforce strong internal controls to prevent the same. Microsoft may contact you
from time to time regarding your use of your Azure services and you will, upon
such request, provide reasonable documentation regarding your use. If Microsoft
believes for any reason that such Azure services are being used for any
prohibited purpose, Microsoft may, at its sole discretion, suspend or terminate
your access to the Azure services.


PAYMENT OPTIONS

Only credit cards will be accepted, unless previously approved for invoice.
Please note that we do not accept prepaid and virtual credit cards.

More details on pricing and billing can be found on our Pricing page.


CANCELLATION POLICY

You may cancel at any time. Payment is required for any outstanding fees
incurred.

LIMITS, QUOTAS AND CONSTRAINTS

Please refer to this document for a list of common Microsoft Azure limits,
quotas and constraints.

The following monthly usage quotas are applied. If you need more than these
limits, please contact customer services at any time so that we can understand
your needs and adjust these limits appropriately.


USE RIGHTS

This benefit is for development and testing only. We reserve the right to
suspend any instance (VM or cloud service) that runs continuously for more than
120 hours or that we determine is being used for production. Production
workloads must be run on regular subscriptions.


SERVICE-LEVEL AGREEMENTS

This benefit is exclusively for development and testing your applications. Usage
within the subscription does not carry a financially-backed SLA, except for the
use of Azure DevOps and Visual Studio App Center.


RESOURCE COMMITMENT

All increases in usage levels of service resources (e.g. adding to the number of
compute instances running or increasing the amount of storage in use) are
subject to the availability of these service resources. Any quota described in
the Limits, Quotas and Constraints section is not a commitment that there will
be sufficient resources available for you to reach the quota.

For any subscriptions of this offer that are not incurring charges and are
inactive for more than 90 days, we reserve the right to remove any compute
resources, including hosted service(s), virtual machines and websites. Please
note that no data would be deleted and customers can redeploy at any time. We
will also provide advance notice prior to removing any compute resources.

You can also avoid having your compute resources removed by doing either of the
following every 90 days:

 1. Log in to either the Azure portal or the new Microsoft Azure portal
 2. Access your resources via our Azure APIs
