Cannot register for Hardware Developer Program

Cannot register for Hardware Developer Program

Lumi Dev 0

I am trying to register for the Hardware Developer Program. I am logged into an account that is marked as Global Administrator when I check in Microsoft Entra admin centre ("Your Role: Global Administrator"). However I cannot progress through the hardware development program registration. When I click the button marked "Sign in to Microsoft Entra ID" it pings me back to "Get started with the Hardware Developer Program"

The button in question is here:

Hi @Lumi Dev
would you please clear the browser cache and cookies and try again. Sometimes, cached data can cause issues with web applications
If the issue persists, try using a different browser or device to register for the Hardware Developer Program.
Do let us know if you any further queries.

Hi Akhilesh,

Thanks for you reply.

I have now tried using a different device with cleared cached data and cookies, with both Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. The symptoms are the same as I described earlier and I cannot progress through the portal.

Can you confirm whether this portal is working correctly at this time? I had read elsewhere that it was down earlier this year. It would be useful to know if the problem is specific to our setup, or if in fact the registration for this program isn't working at all.

Kind regards,

Gordon

Hi Akhilesh,

Thanks for your reply.

I have tried with different devices, clearing cached data and cookies, with both Chrome and Microsoft Edge browsers. The symptoms are the same as I described above and I cannot progress through the portal.

Can you confirm whether this "Hardware Developer Program" portal is working correctly at this time? I have read elsewhere that it was down earlier this year. It would be good to know whether this issue is to do with our setup or in fact the portal itself is not working correctly.

Thanks.
