How can I continue using Azure for free after my trial period?
Asked by

I'm currently using Azure with around $200 in credits for educational purposes, but my trial has ended and I can't access the databases I've set up. Is there a way for me to regain access to the same features I had during my trial?

You might consider setting up another trial account. If you do that, try to quickly set up what you need for your labs, skipping anything unnecessary.

Don’t forget to use the pricing calculator! Set up some budget alerts, or you might find yourself wishing you had support for a bill that jumped unexpectedly.

One option is to add a payment method to your subscription. Just a heads-up, though – make sure you’re careful with your spending after that!

Another idea is to log a support ticket and ask if they can extend your free credits. I did it while studying for my Az104, and they were really accommodating in granting me an extra month.
