Dear Community, We are an Indirect Provider in CSP, and we are facing an issue that has its roots in the past. Based on this, we need to find past usage-based pricelists of Azure. Does anyone of you perhaps keep historical records of the Azure prices excel as it gets published every month by Microsoft? We need the 3 Pricelist Excels published between August-October (inclusive) 2022 for charges to occur between September-November (inclusive) 2022, respectively! We would definetely be eternally grateful if you have them! Much appreciated in advance for your help. Best, NickAzure marketplace offer questions
I have created an Azure Marketplace offer with a flat fee pricing model and added dimensions, where the usage is based on the user count. The payment is set to a monthly schedule. Example I have configured a dimension in my Azure Marketplace offer to calculate billing based on the number of users in my SaaS application. For example: If the SaaS application has 10 users, the billing will be calculated as 10 users × $19 = $190. If the user count changes (e.g., from 10 users in January to 8 users in February), I will report the updated user count as usage. This ensures the billing reflects the exact number of active users each month. Questions: How it will work on Azure Marketplace offer and per the below offer plan and how invoice will be generated? If I report usage daily, will the charges be calculated on a daily basis, or will they be aggregated for the month? Do I need to send usage on daily basis or once in a month? Where can I view the total usage reported to date in the Azure portal? Below is screenshot of my test plan"The Future of AI" Upcoming hybrid meeting with Microsoft Texas Client Director on panel!
