Register a subscription

  • Article

Register an existing Subscription so that it is enabled for ordering Azure reservations.

To purchase an Azure reservation, you must have at least one existing CSP Azure subscription. This method allows you to register your existing CSP Azure subscription, enabling it for purchasing Azure reservations.

Prerequisites

  • Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with both standalone App and App+User credentials.

  • A customer ID (customer-tenant-id). If you don't know the customer's ID, you can look it up in Partner Center by selecting the Customers workspace, then the customer from the customer list, then Account. On the customer’s Account page, look for the Microsoft ID in the Customer Account Info section. The Microsoft ID is the same as the customer ID (customer-tenant-id).

  • A subscription ID.

C#

To register a customer's subscription, retrieve an interface to subscription operations by calling the IAggregatePartner.Customers.ById method with the customer ID to identify the customer. Then, call the Subscription.ById() method with the subscription ID to identify the subscription that you are registering.

Finally, call the Registration.Register() method to register the subscription and retrieve a URI that can be used to get the subscription registration status. For more information, see Get subscription registration status.

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;
// var selectedCustomerId;
// var selectedSubscriptionId;

// Retrieve the subscription registration details.
var subscriptionRegistrationDetails = partnerOperations.Customers.ById(selectedCustomerId).Subscriptions.ById(selectedSubscriptionId).Registration.Register();
