Hi,
Let's assume that I have an Azure subscription already, used some virtual machines for a while, and several other kinds of resources as well. Now I applied to Microsoft for Startups, successfully received a bunch of Azure credits to spend. Is it possible to change the billing of such already existing Azure subscription to make it be payed with these Startups credits? If yes, how exactly? You see, if possible, I don't want to migrate all my Azure resources from the old subscription the a new one.
Thanks in advance for all your answers!
Regards
Zsolt
@trust56 Thank you for reaching out to us. IMO, you need to opt for subscription ownership transfer - https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cost-management-billing/manage/billing-subscription-transfer
Hope this helps!
Hello, thanks for your answer. To who should I transfer the billing ownership? The billing owner of the existing subscription and the ones that I can newly create under Microsoft for Startups are already the same.
@trust56 Better to contact Azure support.
Alright, thanks :)

Hi Zsolt,
You can use the move feature in the portal to move resource groups from one subscription to another:
Move resources to a new resource group or subscription
You can also use Azure PowerShell:
If this is helpful please accept answer.
Hello, thank you for your answer. The problem with this solution is that I have certain types of resources (i.e. public ip address, AKS), that can not be moved between subscriptions.
I'd recommend opening a ticket with Azure Support:
Alright, thanks :)
