What will be the validity period for the Azure codes purchased before October 25th?

I would like to seek clarification regarding the Azure passes in relation to our upcoming AZ-400 training scheduled from October 25th to 28th. As per your communication, it seems that Azure passes will retire on October 25th.

Specifically, if we purchase labs from ALH provider and distribute them to participants for their training, will they be able to redeem the lab codes and collect the Azure pass codes on October 25th? If they redeem the ALH Lab key and collect the Azure pass code on October 26th, will they still be able to use it, or will all Azure pass codes be stopped effectively on October 25th?

Additionally, since it was mentioned that Azure passes will no longer be available for purchase on the ALH platform, I would like to know the status of codes bought on or before October 25th, 2024. Will participants be able to access and use these Azure pass codes at a later time? What will be the validity period for the Azure codes purchased before October 25th?

Your prompt response would be greatly appreciated, as we have committed these corporate classes to our clients some time ago.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

      As I replied to your other question, you really need to speak to your ALH as each ALH may have different approaches to this switch over.

        Hi Julian_Sharp Thank you for your response.

        As you mentioned, we approached the ALH team regarding our inquiries. However, we still have not received any updates and are awaiting the follow-up emails.

         

        Additionally, we were previously informed that only the Microsoft Azure team can provide updates on the validity or any policy changes. With the closure date approaching, we would like to know the current status regarding the validity of our Azure passes.

         

        Thank you for your assistance, and we look forward to your prompt response from Azure team.
