Hi,

i published an offering of type "Azure Solution Template" consisting of:

- 1x Storage Account

- 1x Azure Data Factory

When customer now tries to install in his customer tenant CSP subscription this is not possible with error (see screenshoot):
"This offer is not available for subscriptions from Microsoft Azure Cloud Solution Providers"

What's the reasons? Maybe i have missed, but didn't find any documentation of this limitation for azure marketplace solutions?!

In Offer Setup there is the option "Resell through CPSs" --> Do i have to activate this? In my current understand this setting controls only if CSP Partner can RESELL and not if the solution is deployable in  CSP Subscriptions?!

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace/cloud-solution-providers

Update 29.06.2020:
i activated now the "Resell through CSPs" Option in offer definition in hope that this resolves the limitation...will see if re-validation is done.

still waiting for the re-verification but at least in "preview" the error/limit has gone now. "Resell through CSPs>Any partner in the CSP Program" seems to be mandatory for installation in CSP Subscrtiptions, the documentation here is misleading, at least for me;:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/marketplace/cloud-solution-providers

"You can configure new or existing offers for availability in the CSP program on an opt-in basis, which allows CSP partners sell your products and create bundled solutions for customers."

This is good feedback. Actually when customer deploys this ins a CSP subscription the CSP Partner will resell the solution (since it will be invoiced by the CSP), but still it could be made more clear that this also needs to be done when the customer should be able to deploy this in CSP subscriptions via self-service

Recommendation would be to use the feedback option on the website to raise a documentation feedback/bug, so this can be officially tracked.
