    For Visual Studio Enterprise licenses assigned through the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program (MAICPP), individual $150/month Azure dev/test credits are no longer provided or activated via the Visual Studio subscriptions portal.

    Current Partner Program behavior:

    1. Partner Program benefits are managed at the organization level in Partner Center, not as individual Azure credits per IDE license.
    2. Visual Studio Enterprise IDE licenses assigned from Partner Center still give access to the IDE and related developer tools, but they do not include individual Azure monthly credits, Pluralsight, QA, or MSDN-style downloads.
    3. Azure credits for partners are now provided as pooled Partner Program benefits (for example, bulk or organizational Azure credits) and accessed via your organization’s Azure subscriptions and Partner Center billing/benefit configuration.

    Because of this model, the Visual Studio portal will not show an option to activate a personal $150 monthly Azure credit for a MAICPP-assigned Visual Studio Enterprise license. To use Azure credits, coordinate with the Partner Program/Partner Center admin in the organization to:

    1. Review Azure credit entitlements and status in Partner Center.
    2. Ensure appropriate organizational Azure subscriptions and credits are configured and shared according to internal policies.
