Azure for Students Subscription Renewal
Hi, that sounds like the account/subscription state may be blocking the student renewal flow. I would check whether the account is still recognized as eligible with the school identity and whether the old Azure for Students subscriptions are fully expired or converted. If the portal keeps offering only Students Starter or Free Trial, this probably needs Microsoft billing/subscription support to clean up the account eligibility state.
Thanks for your feedback Jamony. Unfortunately, I was advised that there is an unspecified limit to the number of Azure for Student renewals that a person can use and that I have reached my limit. This is a problem for any faculty teaching Azure as we typically want to use the free student subscription for as long as we teach Azure which often is much longer than a typical 4 year program. I'm surprised and disappointed with this policy as faculty shouldn't have to pay for Azure when they are teaching it to their students and using minimal resources but that's what I have been told. Please let me know if you or anyone else knows of a workaround to this problem.
