Cannot deploy cloud service from Visual Studio - "This account has no subscriptions"

Question

Cannot deploy cloud service from Visual Studio - "This account has no subscriptions"

Erik Grigoriev (LV) 25

"This account has no subscriptions" is the problem.

This happened just recently. I've been deploying "cloud service (extended support)" using Visual Studio for long time successfully. However just recently I am stuck on first step of "Publish Azure Application".

"This account has no subscriptions" is the message. Re-adding account, restarting, updating Visual Studio 2022 to latest version (17.13.6) - nothing helps.

I have "owner" role of subscription and can log-in into portal and manage all resources. However VS says "no subscriptions".

Hello,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A,

This is a known and frustrating issue where Visual Studio suddenly fails to recognize Azure subscriptions during deployment.

Try to Clear Visual Studio Account Cache

Close VS, then delete the TokenCache folder:

Navigate to:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SSO

Delete the folder or its contents

Then reopen Visual Studio → re-authenticate and try to publish,

I’m having the same issue, but %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\VisualStudio\SSO doesn’t exist on my system (Visual Studio 2022). Are there any other folders I should clear to fix Azure publishing/authentication problems?

We are having the same issue. I also couldn't find the SSO folder in the location above. Please advice.

I did a "repair" on VS installation and now have different error. Upon clicking "Publish (extended support)" there is error message box:

"The IAzureAuthenticationManager service is unavailable."

It started to work. Maybe MS did some fixes on their end, but last thing I tried before it started to work was to add "/log" into launch params of Visual Studio shortcut

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\2022\Professional\Common7\IDE\devenv.exe" /log
