Hello Everyone.

I had reactivated my student subscription, and now it is active, but I am still not able to deploy resources. Can someone please help me out here?

Hello Karnajeet Sawant,

Here are a few things you might want to check:

Subscription Status: Even if your subscription shows as active, it’s worth verifying by going to the Azure portal and checking your subscription details directly.

Credit Usage: If you have exhausted your $100 credit or if it has expired, deployment may be disabled. You can check your remaining credit on the Microsoft Azure Sponsorships portal.

Free Services Limit: Ensure that you're not exceeding the limits of the free services that come with your subscription, as that can also block deployments.

Active Directory Issues: If your student account is associated with a university Active Directory, verify that your account is set up correctly. Sometimes, users need to have their account made or managed by their institution to ensure full access.

Sign In Issues: Ensure you're signing in with the same university email that is associated with your Azure for Students account.

Subscription Upgrade: If you’ve used all your credit and still want to continue using Azure, you might need to consider upgrading to a pay-as-you-go subscription.

If you've checked all these and are still facing issues let us know?

Hello Siva.

Thanks for your response.

I have checked my subscription in the portal, and it shows the same subscription that I have given above in the screenshot.
My subscription was expired earlier, but then I renewed it using my student credentials. It got renewed, but I cannot deploy any resources.
I haven't even used 10% of the credits.

I basically tried all the given solutions, but nothing seemed to work.

Hello Karnajeet Sawant,

Here are a few steps you can try to troubleshoot this issue:

Check your subscription’s Access Control (IAM) settings.

Look for deny assignments and request their removal via Azure Support.

Ensure your account has the Contributor role for resource creation. Click View under View access to this resource Ensure your role is under Contributor

Would it be possible for you to provide instructions to follow?

Also, when I checked and opened my subscription, I saw this error.
