I am new to Azute,I have created a free trail subscription but now it is showing disabled not sure how to reactivate it.Attached screenshot is provided.Anyone can help.
There may be many factors for a subscription to be disabled. The most common reason is "Your credit is expired".
The official document lists several reasons and solutions. You can reactivate the disabled subscription according to the instructions in the official document.

I really need some basic help with Azure. I purchased Microsoft 365 for my company (10 users) from GoDaddy (a mistake). GoDaddy support has little to no knowledge of Azure. With Microsoft 365, you get access to the Azure portal, and you get a directory in Azure Active Directory that looks like NETORG12345678.onmicrosoft.com. Then you can create tenants and subscriptions below that directory.
I must have done something like that, because now I am getting emails from Microsoft saying that my subscription is about to expire and I should pay the bill.
Rather embarrassing to say, but I cannot even figure out how to do this. I am the global administrator for my directory/tenant (if that is even the right terminology). I keep getting error messages that I don't have the appropriate permissions to view my bill, and I should try asking myself for permission to do that. Sometimes, the error messages say I should try switching directories, but there is only one directory, I think.
I wish there was some appropriate training for this, but I can't find anything. Sorry for the noob question.
If you are the owner/administrator you can navigate to Cost Management + Billing and see what is your subscription and the status of it,
You have mentioned that you purchased Office 365 through GoDaddy. In this case GoDaddy could possibly be owning the subscription on which they have on-boarded you. If GoDaddy support doesn't have much idea, you can mention this to Microsoft support. From what I understand you will be paying GoDaddy which would take care of billing on your behalf, I guess.
This morning I am getting the following message "This account is on a deprecated billing system. Contact Support to move it to the new system." when I open my subscription blade in the portal. When I try to submit a billing support ticket it just hangs while trying to bring up a support plan, which should not be necessary for a billing question anyway. For now it appears that the subscription is still working, but this seems like it will go badly. Please advise.
Looks like there is an outage in Azure: https://twitter.com/AzureSupport/status/1036970068058562560. All you can do for now is wait.
There is simply no way to create a ticket in the technical assistance ticket portal, I get the same for the last 11 a.m.
I am having the same issue with one of the subscriptions I own. Getting the message: This account is on a deprecated billing system. Contact Support to move it to the new system.
By personal experience it should be a matter of waiting it out, since the resources on that subscription are completely offline and they are not even in the affected region. To follow progress on it go to status.azure.com or follow them on twitter Azure Support. 41 minutes ago, there is still no definite resolution.

We're completely upgrading our production and development environment from co-located boxes to an Azure implementation and we'll be developing using Visual Studio Online. Up until this point our dev has occurred on a Remote Desktop environment where developers were logging into Windows server and developing on that RDP box.
We want to set this up and we have some confusion about the Account types/set up types.
It appears there are two ways to set up our Azure and two ways to set up our developers. We are a MS partner w/ some MSDN licenses and Azure credits.
So for Azure we can use our existing MS accounts and just set up an Azure Pay As You Go (PAYG) subscription. This was suggested to us initially but it seems weird to have the entire companies Azure environment going through an individuals live ID. Then we saw we can sign up as an Organization now and it uses Azure AD. We have not been using Active Directory and we're not sure how much complexity this is going to add to our administration. Is there a discernible difference/benefit to going one way or the other?
Then, when we sign up our developers we can either have everyone sign up with their live ID's (we have MSDN w/ VS Premium credits for all developers) or we can set them up using Active Directory with Work Accounts. Having our credits allotted in work accounts sounds like a good way to control things at first reading, but it also seems a bit more complex. I'm wondering if there is much difference between MSDN accounts signed up w/ live IDs or AD Work Accounts. I can't find a real comparison article or pro/con type of discussion anywhere.
It sounds like you have already figured out the main differences. As an organization, I would suggest signing up for Azure as an organization. You can do that here. This is going to give you the management capabilities for resources typically needed by an organization.
Your developers can continue to use the MSDN subscriptions. As Dylan commented, these are not to be used for production environments. You should consider using these for Dev/Test environments and activating your MSDN benefits. This will save you some money. More on that here.
Visual Studio Online will work with your Work Accounts and again give you more control over managing your online resources. This link describes the sign-up process for both Microsoft Accounts and Work Accounts. And if you scroll down a bit you will find your original question specifically addressed.
Finally, you can also add your Work Account(s) to your existing MSDN subscriptions if you like. This way you (and your developers) can use the same account credentials when accessing Azure Subscriptions. Information on how to do that is available in this link.
Your Work Account subscription should be limited to personnel responsible for managing your "production" environment.
After signing up for Azure as an Organization, you can add users to the directory as described here. You can also add "external" users using their existing Microsoft Accounts. It's just a few dialogs to add a user.
I had a free trial with windows azure, I was out of the country and it ran out.
I have now upgraded to a pay-as-you-go account. All good.
However, my previous websites still run off my old subscription, is there any way to reactivate these websites using my new pay-as-you-go subscription?
If you upgraded the existing free account versus opened a new pay-as-you-go account, this should have been a seamless transition.
You can contact support - use the Billing Questions option and then select Transfer Subscription, and they should be able to help you.
Alternatively, of course, you could redeploy your assets to the new subscription.
I created a "Billing" ticket with microsoft. There is a type of ticket as you go through their wizard specifically for this. They were able to upgrade my "Free Trial" to the pay as you go AFTER i had let the free trial expire. The downside was that all my virtual machines were deleted. It did however give me access to my websites and storage without any problem. I was able to recreate all the VM's using the storage vhd's.
My experience on this is that I just redeploy to a new website I created under new subscription. I didn't find a way to move them over to new subscription.
You can move SQL Azure to new subscription, but not website. To move SQL Azure to new subscription, you will need to use old Azure portal management. Follow this step:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/windowsazure/archive/2012/03/07/moving-sql-azure-servers-between-subscriptions.aspx
Note that you are moving the server where the database lives. So, if you have more than one DB in the same server, everything will be moved.
You can move Azure SQL DB from one subscription to another on https://manage.windowsazure.com
Both subscriptions should in the same Default Directory. If they are in different directories then select:
Subscriptions
Manage subscriptions/directory
Select subscription and click "Edit" at the bottom.
Choose directory where other subscription and click "Next".
When both subscriptions in the same directory.
Choose "SQL Databases"
Select proper server
and in Quick Glance you should see "Change subscription"
The documentation in the link stack247 posted is now outdated. To change the target subscription for a database, you have to change the target subscription of the server for the database. There are several ways to navigate to the server, but here is just one example:
Click on the database tab
Click on the name of the database you want to change
In the dashboard view, click on the link to the server in the quick glance section. This is on the bottom right corner of the view.
In the dashboard view, click on the Change Subscription link in the quick glance section. This is on the right side of the view.
Change the Target Subscription, and click the check button.
As far as changing the subscription for a website or cloud service, I would do what is recommended above; and republish the website or cloud service. When you publish, change the settings to target a different subscription by clicking on the previous button.
---------Update----------
If you have a bunch of assets that need to be moved to another account, create a ticket with the Azure helpdesk. You will have to do the above and switch out the accounts for the databases/servers, but Microsoft is able to run a script on their end that moves everything. Depending on the size of your assets, it may take a little longer. Fortunately for me, it was only a day to move everything. I would recommend doing this instead of publishing everything a second time.

All the solutions mentioned above are now outdated.
In the https://portal.azure.com/,
For SQL Servers, go in the "SQL Servers" menu, select the server to change. In the Overview, click on the Edit button, located right to the name of the subscription.
For WebApps, go to the "App Service plans" menu, select your plan, click on the Resource Group and in the Overview, click on the Edit button, located right to the name of the subscription.
