I have MSDN subscription "Visual Studio Professional with MSDN" and I am using Windows Azure using my subscription. I just wonder what happen if my subscription will expire, Can I still use free quota on Windows Azure portal forever? Or I won't able to access portal after my msdn subscription expire.
regards
You should be able to continue to access the Windows Azure Portal after your subscription expires. When you signed up for the Windows Azure subscription benefits for MSDN it required you to enter a credit card. Depending on when you signed up the spending cap feature may have been in place, which would mean that you would not have been charged for overages unless you requested the spending cap removed.
Check out information about the MSDN benefits and the spending cap information. Here is another good article as well.
When the subscription completely expires then if you keep your data in there without removing it eventually you will either need to remove the spending cap to pay for that or remove it (all running deployments would have been stopped for you). I believe they store the data like 90 days after a subscription runs out before completely destroying on their own.
If you are using the Windows Azure Web Sites feature for the Free sites, you should be able to continue to access those sites (based on the quotas) at any time.
You can also request that an Azure Subscription be transitioned from a Trial or MSDN account to a pay as you go account at any time (see the last article above). Basically you are just removing your spending limit.
I have contacted Microsoft about moving a website to a different subscription, but that is not possible it seems.
Moving a web site from one subscription to another is not the same thing as retaining an MSDN subscription as PAYG after it has expired.

I had a pay-as-you-go subscription with azure for a while. I ended up canceling it as it got too expensive. However I bought a couple custom domains through azure that I was using. How do I move these domains to my GoDaddy account? I can't seem to find them anywhere.
Depending how you cancelled the subscription you may have lost them, some more information is available here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-gb/documentation/articles/custom-dns-web-site-buydomains-web-app/#what-happens-to-the-custom-domain-you-bought
The comments indicate once the subscription is cancelled the domains are sold back and removed from the registry.
I am trying to learn how to use Azure's web app services to set up a custom domain, but I am getting a consistent issue with it think I don't have a paid subscription. I am on the "Shared" service level and have a Pay-As-You-Go subscription, yet when I try to click the "Buy Domains" button in the Web App dashboard for my application it automatically shows me a screen "To buy a custom domain, you must have a paid Azure subscription." I have been try to refresh and reconfigure all the options related to my subscription, but it won't seem to let me buy a domain. Are the subscriptions I have not sufficient to do this?
I experienced the same problem. I had just signed up for a new azure account and then converted my subscription from free-trial to pay-as-you-go. Somehow this doesn't propagate correctly because the subscription still showed the free trial credit. I filed a ticket with MS Support, and received an actual phone call back from a support person. They resolved it behind the scenes. Credit disappeared, but my subscription was successfully now showing pay-as-you-go in the portal.
Successfully buying a domain through the portal is another challenge though.
Are you the Service-Admin or Co-Admin?
It might be an operation only Service-Admin can execute.
I am trying to create an Asp.Net web application from Visual studio to host in Windows Azure. After signing in with my work email(having MSDN subscription and Windows Azure benefits activated) I am shown this message:
Sorry but we didn't find any Windows Azure subscriptions associated with your account.
You can sign in with a different account, or as an MSDN Subscriber, you can get started with Microsoft Azure using monthly credits that are included in your MSDN subscription. Just activate your MSDN benefit to get started.
I have already activated my MSDN benefit and also have one Asp.Net web application up and running on Windows Azure with the same account for last 10 days.
I don't understand why it's happening. If anyone knows about it then please let me know.
Thanks
The issue has been resolved with the help of my organisation's IT Admin. Here is the resolution.
The problem was that, while signing in, I was give two option to choose from after entering my email Id-
Work or School account (Assigned by your work or school) or
Microsoft Account (Personal Account).
I was selecting the first one i.e Work/School account. My MSDN subscription is provided by my organization but the Windows Azure account I created using that MSDN subscription is my personal one and not provided by my company. So I should have selected the second option i.e. Personal Account.
Now when I select Microsoft Account while signing, my project is successfully created for hosting in Windows Azure.
So to msdn and activate Azure under that.

My free trial has expired and I created new subscription. How to change old subscripted mobile service to new?
I can't log into mobile service etc. from management panel...
I don't know if they can do this for expired trial subscriptions, as deployments may well have been removed, but Windows Azure support can move deployments between [active] subscriptions, so worth pinging them?
I cancelled my "Pay-as-you-go" account that used to host my windows azure website. today I looked on google however, and it decided to index the azure site (builtagroup.azurewebsites.net). I want to re-enable my account and put a permanent redirect on the site until google removes it, but it's not letting me. When I try to re-enable it, it just makes me create a new account, but does not let me have access to my old site. Any suggestions?
I don't think there is any current provision to re-enable cancelled account. You might have to open Billing Support ticket with Windows Azure Team and which is free.
Support for billing and subscription management issues are covered
with your Windows Azure subscription at no additional charge, and you
don’t need to have a Windows Azure Support plan to raise these issues.
To submit an incident, go to the Windows Azure Support site and click
on Get Support
