How do I subscribe to Universal Print's standalone subscription?

It seems extremely difficult to subscribe to Universal Print.

I understand that it is accessible as either a standalone subscription ($4), or as part of certain office packages... e.g. Microsoft 365 Enterprise.

I couldn't figure out how to subscribe to the standalone subscription so I decided to sign up to Microsoft 365. In the process of doing so I had to create a new Microsoft specific account (which is different to my Azure account)... when I logged back into Azure my new subscription wasn't recognised... so I wasn't eligible to purchase.

I really don't want - and shouldn't have to - create a whole new azure portal with this really long microsoft ID email. I'm frustrated!

Could someone please help me understand how to subscribe to the standalone Universal Print package, which costs $4 (I'm not made of money) and connect this to my existing Azure account?

    Hello @Printing company owner ,

    Thanks for your query.

    The standalone subscription does not come with, but requires, Azure Active Directory.

    If you have purchased a Universal Print stand-alone subscription, assign the Universal Print license to your users.
