Azure student verification link not working.

Question

I created an azure account, now I want to connect with my student email to redeem student benefits. I submitted my email, but due to not receiving emails from Microsoft, tried 3 times. When trying to verify with the latest verification URL received via mail, the URL opens a new tab and says "The client does not have access rights to the content".

What is the issue here?

Who is eligible for the Azure for Students?

Azure for Students is available only to students who meet the following requirements. You must affirm that you are age 18 or older and attend an accredited, degree-granting two-year or four-year educational institution where you’re a full-time student in a STEM-related field. You must verify your academic status through your organization’s email address. This offer is not available for use in a massive open online course (MOOC) or in other professional trainings from for-profit organizations. The Azure for Students offer is limited to one per eligible student, is non-transferable, and cannot be combined with any other offers unless otherwise permitted by Microsoft. Azure for Students has a limited supply of activations and the offer is available only while supplies last. Each region has a limited number of Azure for Students offers available, and your geographical location may run out of supplies while the offer is still available in other regions. Microsoft may terminate this offer at our sole discretion. Other restrictions may apply.

The correct URL for Azure for Student is http://aka.ms/azure4student or full url https://azure.microsoft.com/free/students/

You can sign up for Azure for Student using your student academic email address or via registration for a github student pack account which will give you access to a Azure for Student Verification Code if you do not have a valid student email address.

As a student, you can apply for the GitHub Student Developer Pack https://education.github.com/pack , which includes offers and benefits from GitHub partners. you can read more at http://aka.ms/learnstudent
