Clarification on EA Subscription Limits and Account Creation Process
I hope this message finds you well.
I have a few questions regarding the Azure EA (Enterprise Agreement) subscription and the process for creating new EA accounts. I would greatly appreciate your help on the following points:
- Process for Creating New EA Accounts:
What is the process for creating additional EA accounts once the subscription limit is reached? Are there any specific steps or approvals required? There is no official document on how to do it. - Billing Account Consideration:
When creating a new EA account, is it necessary to set up a new billing account, or can the new EA account be created under the same billing account that is currently being used for existing EA accounts?
Thank you for your time and support.
Best regards,

Take this:
- Process for Creating Additional EA Accounts
When the subscription limit is reached, you can create additional EA accounts by following these steps:
- Sign in to the Azure Portal: Navigate to the Cost Management + Billing section.
- Create a New Subscription: Select Add Subscription under the desired billing account.
- Approval Requirements: Ensure you have the necessary permissions, such as Enterprise Administrator or Account Owner roles, to create new subscriptions.
- Quota Management: If you need to increase subscription quotas, you may need to contact Microsoft support for assistance.
- Billing Account Consideration
- Using the Same Billing Account: You can create new EA accounts under the same billing account that is currently being used for existing EA accounts. This helps streamline billing and management.
- Separate Billing Accounts: If you prefer to isolate billing for compliance or organizational reasons, you can set up a new billing account. This requires additional administrative setup.
