MicrosoftISV Success FAQ: Are their limitations for use of the Azure Sponsorship credits?
Q: Are their limitations for use of the Azure Sponsorship credits (offered as part of ISV Success)?
A: Azure Sponsorship must be used within 12 months of joining the ISV Success program. Due to current technical limitations Azure Sponsorship also can not be used on Microsoft Customer Agreements (MCA) or Cloud Solution Provider (CSP) agreements. Azure Sponsorship also can not be used to purchase Reserved Instances (RI) or (Reserved Capacity (RC).
Note: this FAQ is relevant to participants in ISV Success. Learn more about ISV Success here.
Hi Justin, new fiscal year maybe new changes :) Is the above still holds true ?

Hi JohanAussenac - this still holds true.
From the beginning of the ISV Success Build and Publish engagement year (12 month period) the ISV is given 13 months total to use the 5k benefit they receive. The 5k sponsorship end date for ISV Success is always 1 month past the engagement end date. This never changes. If they do not activate the 5k until 6 months into their engagement year, then they only have 7 months to use it.
At this time we cannot provision Azure sponsorships to MCA or CSP agreements. Azure sponsorship cannot be used to purchase Reserved Instances (RI) or (Reserved Capacity (RC).
- Hello Justin - hope you're doing great.
I would like to know if there's any update regarding the use of ISV Success and CSP program. Is Azure sponsorship available anytime soon for CSPs agreeement ?
Warm regards,
Johan- justinroyalHi Johan - as of right now the above still holds true (Azure Sponsorship cannot be used on Cloud Solution Provider agreements).
Hi Justin - i hope you're doing great. Quick check on that one has the situation evolved and can credits be used on CSP subscription ?
