I have two account Azure FREE MSDN account and Azure Enterprise account.
Can I combine the Azure Free and Enterprise License with one account
so that I can start using only one account and switch between subscriptions
Thank you
Due to authentication requirements and licensing we cannot do that, thats what I heard from one the MSFT team members just now.

Good afternoon,
I am confused about licensing in Azure and I am hoping someone here can help me understand. Regrettably, Microsoft was not particularly helpful when I contacted sales.
I have an on-prem AD synced with Azure AD cloud (free edition). We have a number of guests (for purposes of this question, 10) for Teams access, and I would like to implement an MFA requirement for them. It appears Azure AD premium licensing may be required to do this. If it is, does each guest user need an Azure AD Premium P1 or P2 license assigned (so 10 Azure AD Px licenses)? Or do I just need one for the administrator?
I'm finding the licensing portion confusing.
Thank you.
The licensing agreement requires that every user using Azure MFA needs at least a Premium P1 license. (See related discussion.)
If you are using the free version with security defaults enabled, then you can use a subset of the MFA features and the users can only authenticate using the Authenticator app. But you won't be able to use conditional access or have MFA turned on for some users and not others.
Anyone has setup subscription in Microsoft Azure before? I need to choose a No technical support subscription but I am not able to find screen like below:
The options that you see in this screen are available when you perform an upgrade from an Azure free account or Azure for Students Starter account to pay-as-you-go in the Azure portal.
If you've signed up for an Azure for Students Starter account and are eligible for an Azure free account, you can upgrade to a free account. You'll get $200 of Azure credits and 12 months of free services on upgrade.
Check Upgrade your Azure free account or Azure for Students Starter account to know the detailed steps.
I work for a Microsoft Tier 1 CSP partner company (Cloud Solution Provider) and I’m trying to figure out if it’s possible to use VSTS (former Visual Studio Online) for our company.
If I understood it correctly, the tier 1 CSP can “create” azure environments for customers. Therefore, the customers could create their own VSTS instances.
Nevertheless, what about us? Is a VSTS instance available for us as a Tier 1 CSP? Or do we have to book a MSDN Full License to achieve that?
We can link Azure MSP subscriptions to Windows Live ID’s and that allows each user a 130€ credit monthly on Azure components free. However, that only gives us the VSTS “community” edition with five users free because it is not connected to a/the MSDN subscription.
TL;DR:
Can a MS Tier 1 CSP have its own VSTS based on the Tier 1 CSP License?
I hope you guys can give me some insight.
Kind regards
Diogo
I'm pretty sure CSP and VSTS don't play together yet, I don't have a link to back it up thou.
I have an SharePoint Office 365 Developer account and initially it was created using #xyz.onmicrosoft.com account.
Now I have added #xyz.com. All the billing management happen using the admin#xyz.onmicrosoft.com and application access happen using user#xyz.com
Now I am planning to add Azure Pay-As-You-Go subscription but I am confused should I create the Azure portal account using admin#xyz.onmicrosoft.com or user#xyz.com
Is there any best practice or general recommendation available ?
this is completely up to your organization, there are no major advantages of using one or other.
Nevertheless, an "user#xyz.com" account will be friendlier than "user#xyz.onmicrosoft.com".
We are spinning up a development against Microsoft Azure and will be making use of Visual Studio Online in conjunction with Microsoft Azure capabilities (PaaS, and IaaS). The majority of our developers will have MSDN subscriptions.
To get started I have set up the Azure Portal with what is being called a "Microsoft Account" (definition based on the FAQ below). I did this in order to establish a POC and demonstration but now I am wondering if this account needs to be an "Organizational Account." My company does use Office365/Outlook so I think it is possible to establish "Organizational Accounts" but I have not been able to determine with our Operations resources what would be necessary.
The question then is should I be using strictly Organizational Accounts for all Azure and Visual Studio Online accounts? If an account has already been set up as a Microsoft account can it be transitioned to an Organizational account? Are there any implications to be aware of?
One of the problems I am currently experiencing is that I cannot be logged into Outlook and Azure at the same time (assume Chrome for this example) unless I use Incognito mode for one of the sites. I am using the same email account for both but for Outlook it is being treated as an organizational account but for Azure it is a Microsoft account.

I would suggest using Org Accounts only once you have your domain synced to WAAD. This is what we have concluded is the best way to move forward and now are waiting on the Infrastructure gods to approve syncing our AD with WAAD. ...be prepared for resistance in this area.
The link to the FAQ says to contact MS to transition MS to Org account.
We have found this to be a very messy area with little direction from Microsoft to be found. We are not yet adopting VSO until we can use Org\WAAD accounts. They say new VSO accounts now support Org\WAAD accounts but if you have already created a VSO account you currently cannot switch over to Org\WAAD.
