can"t create vm

Question

When I setup a virtual system and select the operating system it gives me this message "The selected image is not valid for the specified location. Select a different location."
However, I change the region in which the servers are located, it gives me the same message even with changing the operating system format, whether Windows or Linux

Answer 1

Hi,

"The selected image is not valid for the specified location. Select a different location."

I assume that you are using a free subscription of one type or another.

Your subscription is not necessarily have the permission to use this image or the combination of Specific service/image/size/regions

You can learn more about such issue here:

It can be related to quota or simply other limitations of the subscription.
