Other features or issues related to Microsoft Partner Center
Hardware is active but the Dashboard is disabled; no workspace available to place orders
Please read first
This is NOT a question about how to submit HLK or how to enroll in Hardware.
We already confirmed:
- Hardware program = Active In
- Legal vetting = Authorized
- EV certificate = Active
- Signed-in user = organization Global admin
This is a Partner Center workspace/dashboard provisioning issue. Self-service ticket creation is completely blocked.
Community members cannot reactivate workspaces. We need Microsoft Partner Center / Windows Hardware support to contact us privately or provide a working Case path.
Full Seller ID / Tenant ID / Correlation ID / screenshots can be shared privately. Public post is masked.
Has been investigated:
- Check Global admin / re-assign Hardware roles
- Retry Partner Center Help + Support (workspace list empty, no Create ticket button)
- Retry Engage Center / Services Hub (no workspace access)
- Create a new Hardware enrollment (Seller ID already exists; would conflict)
- without a workable ticket path when no workspace exists
Current state
- Programs: Hardware = Active In
- Legal info: Authorized
- Manage certificates: EV Active (not expired)
- Hardware Dashboard error: Access restricted – Partner Center account has been deactivated
- Home / My access: no Hardware workspace
- Help + Support:
- Workspace list empty
- No “Create support request” button
- Service Health table empty
- Partner Center support page for “Reactivate Suspended Hardware Developer Account” still lands on a page with no workspace and no ticket button
- Result: cannot create a formal Support Case to request backend restore
Account (masked)
- Company: Guangzhou ******** Technology Co., Ltd.
- Seller ID: ******** (available privately)
- Tenant: ********.onmicrosoft.com
- UPN: @*****.onmicrosoft.com
- Role: Global admin
- EV: Active
Verified
Check the "Global admin" / "Reassign Hardware" role
Try again "Partner Center Help + Support" (the drop-down list in the workspace is empty and there is no order placement button)
Try again "Engage Center" / "Services Hub" (there are no workspace permissions)
Re-register a new set of Hardware projects (you already have a Seller ID, which will cause a conflict)
[Request]
1.Please contact our Microsoft support team privately to provide us with the complete ID and screenshots.
2.Please create/upgrade a formal case to restore the existing Hardware workspace and Dashboard access.
3.What we need is to restore/reactivate the existing registration, not a new enrollment.
4.After restoration, it will be used to continue submitting HLK (.hlkx) files.
