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 am currently having a Business Pro Trial plan for my production account and I am trying to migrate my integration key from sandbox environment to the production account. However, when I select the production account with Business Pro Trial plan, it says 'Your current plan does not support API integration'. It is mentioned in the docusign documentation that integration key can be migrated with the Business Pro Plan. Any help will be much appreciated.
First off, Congratulations on successfully integrating with DocuSign and passing your review. From this guide on the DocuSign Developer Center regarding Go-Live:
"...note that certain account types, such as 30-day (Business Pro) Free Trials and Freemium accounts, are not eligible for key promotion."
If you prefer self-service, You can take a look at the pricing page on the Developer Center and choose the API plan that best reflects your feature needs. If you have any doubts about which plan is best, definitely contact sales. They will match you up with an Account Manager who can help provision the perfect plan for you.
I want to deploy our SharePoint remote event receiver inside an Azure web app. but when i create a new web app i got 2 subscriptions ("Microsoft Azure" OR "Pay-As-You-Go"), as follow:-
So i am not sure what are the main differences between these 2 subscriptions?
second question; which one is more suitable for hosting SharePoint remote event receivers?
Pay as you go is just like it says, you pay for only the services that you use, based on the pricing for that service. More info here.
A subscription is as described here "a logical grouping of Azure services that is linked to an Azure account. A single Azure account can contain multiple subscriptions. Billing for Azure services is done on a per-subscription basis. For a list of the available subscription offers by type, see Microsoft Azure Offer Details"
You have two subscriptions set up. On is a pay as you go subscription, and one is another type, although I'm not sure what. There should be no difference which one you select from a technical standpoint. It is only a matter of how you want to be billed. Azure web apps have a free tier as well.
There is no technical difference between the two subscriptions. There might be a difference with regards to support levels or service level agreements (SLAs), e.g. if one of them is a Dev/Test subscription. There might be a difference in "purpose" - one might be exclusively for "production use cases", while the other might be for testing. There is no way for us to know.
You really should ask the person responsible for the Azure subscriptions on which one you should use. If you set them up yourself, you take a more detailed look at the subscriptions themselves.
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.
We have an Azure subscription (Pay-As-You-Go) on one email a1#rolsped.com (username) and a separate MSDN Visual Studio Enterprise subscription on another email address a2#rolsped.com (username).
The Azure subscription is for production (Pay-As-You-Go). What I found is that: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/member-offers/credit-for-visual-studio-subscribers/
But this would create a complete new Azure subscription and it is stated that this is for DEV/TEST purposes only. I read between those lines that the preformance would not be as good as what we have now with the separate Azure subscription(Pay-As-You-Go). So not suitable for our needs. Further I found that it is a separate kind of Azure subscription called Dev/Test
How can we get the 150 EUR per month credit from the Visual Studio Enterprise MSDN subscription as credit in our exsiting Azure subscription (Pay-As-You-Go)?
Getting the credit out of the MSDN offer, and transferring it to another subscription (basically the scenario you suggest) is not possible. These are two completely separate offers and cannot be combined in a sense.
Currently i'm building a simple SaaS-driven TMS. The aim is to publish it in the Windows Azure Marketplace.
I'm not able to find any pricing on that. Does Microsoft charge developers for publishing?
Is that on a Monthly base? Or are all applications that are hosted on Windows Azure also publishable (if that's even a word) on the market?
Or... do they take a percentage of the price you ask for your subscriptions?
Any help would be appreciated!
I don't know what TMS is, but... The Windows Azure Marketplace lets you publish your app and sell monthly subscriptions. You choose the pricing tiers and restrictions on those tiers (maybe amount of storage, reports, etc.). The marketplace deals with payment collection activation/deactivation of service (by sending your app special messages), and promoting the app in the marketplace itself.
Any Windows Azure app may be listed in the marketplace, but those being billed through the marketplace need to be SaaS apps.
There's no cost to publish, but there's a commission taken by the marketplace (I can't recall the percentage).
EDIT: Here's the agreement you have to sign when publishing. It contains complete details of the payment and fee structure.
