I am doing active Development using MS Graph since a year and now my developer subscription is about to Expire!!

Question

I have been doing development using Microsoft Graph (Onedrive/Sharepoint) for about a year now same can be seen with the questions I have been asking on this forum yet my Developer Dashboard states as below:

Renewable E5 subscription
Expires on Feb 5, 2021

How can I request Microsoft to extend my Developer Subscription. Many users have purchased O365 accounts so as to use my Application which is registered in Azure AD.

Answer 1

Hi @Allan Fernandes ,

In April 2019, Microsoft transitioned to a new model where your subscription can be renewed perpetually every 90 days if you're actively using it for development. This model ensures that developers who are actively developing solutions have a subscription for as long as they need one. If you're developing frequently, your subscription never expires; it is automatically extended. The only way that you can extend your subscription is to do valid developer activity.

If you signed up for your subscription after August 2018, you might have a renewable subscription. If your subscription is inactive, you'll see the following warning on your dashboard.

When your subscription expires, you'll see the following warning text.

If your developer dashboard page is shown like mine, it is renewable and will extend automatically.

When the Pandemic started I did not know what Onedrive was, I understood it and started using Microsoft Graph API to work with it and I log in several times a day using my registered App on Azure AD regularly until date.

Can I pay for continuing this subscription as it is very important to me ?
