I created a normal billing acount i azure, but I am a student and have acses to your student licens. What do I do?

Question

Hey Azure,

As mentioned above, I created an Azure account yesterday, but made a big mistake that I really hope you can help me with....

I created a normal 30 day trial account with 200$, but I now found out I did it all wrong...

I should have created a student account that doesn't run out after 30 days, but continues and has 100$ to spend.

I really hope you can help!

Best regards

A student in need of help

@Marie-Louise Øgendahl Andersen (EAAMLOA) Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Forum, Thank you for posting your query here!
I would recommend to contact Azure Billing and Subscription team would be the best to provide more insight and guidance on this scenario:[ https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/support/options/] Free support is been provided.

Change your Azure subscription to a different offer

Additional information : At the end of your first 30 days or after you spend your USD200 credit (whichever comes first), we'll ask you if you want to move to pay-as-you-go pricing. If you move to pay as you go, you'll keep getting free services and you'll only pay for what you use beyond the free monthly amounts. If you don't move to pay as you go, you can't purchase Azure services beyond your USD200 credit—and eventually your account and services will be disabled.

*What happens once I use my USD200 free credit or I am at the end of 30 days?**We will notify you so you can decide if you want to move to pay-as-you-go pricing, enabling you to purchase Azure services beyond free amounts. If you do, you will keep getting access to all the free services. If you do not, your account and services will be disabled. To resume usage, you will need to move to pay as you go.
