Earlier this year I successfully deployed a MVC app to Azure from Visual Studio.

Now I'm trying to do the same thing again, but now I am told my azure account "has no subscription".

However I am 100% positive I do have a subscription associated with my email. My old MVC app still runs and I can see my Pay-as-you-go is properly charged.

What I Have tried to fix it

  • Emptied my browser caches, history, cookies etc.
  • Removed my account from Visual Studio, restarted, and added them again.
  • Formatted my computer and reinstalled everything (not really because of this problem, but the timing was perfect).
  • Updated the Azure SDK to the newest 2.9.5.

I did the following things above based on advice from these pages:

Visual Studio not finding my Azure subscriptions

Unable to publish to Azure with VS2015

No subscription found in windows azure account

But alas, no luck.

The only thing that comes to thought is I tried to add an Azure Pass to my account, but without luck. But I can't see how that should change anything...

So my question is: How do I make Visual Studio recognize my current Pay-as-you-go subscription, so I can publish my services, apps, etc. from Visual Studio directly?

Or at least: What has gone wrong? Whom can I contact to get help with this?

As always, thank you for your time and patience, and please write a comment if you need further information.

    Have you tried to use server explorer first? I always connect via server explorer. – apr Sep 26 '16 at 09:33
  • I opened the Server Explorer tab, right clicked the Azure option and clicked "Connect to Microsoft Azure Subscription". I was then told my subscription was not supported by server explorer. BUT! When I try to publish now, Visual Studio can see both my Pay-as-you-go subscription AND my Azure Pass. E.g. you saved the day @apr. Please write your solution as an answer and I will accept it. Otherwise I'll write my own in a week or so :) – MartinJH Sep 26 '16 at 09:53
  • I have also a pay as you go subscription, but my subscription started as an msdn azure subscription. It is strange that your subscription listed as non supported. Corrupted azure sdk installation(?) – apr Sep 26 '16 at 11:00
  • Might be, but now I can publish so I'm happy :) – MartinJH Sep 26 '16 at 12:13

You may try to connect first via the server explorer (ctrl+alt+s). (The server explorer has an azure root node, if the azure sdk installed)

If you have connected, the publish wizard won't ask (usually) for sign in again.

In my case, the solution was as follows:

Open Server Explorer in Visual Studio, right-click on Azure and select "Manage and filter subscriptions":

Click the Certificates tab, click Import, then click Download subscription file. This will take you to the azure portal page where you can download a .publishsettings file for your subscription. After downloading that file, click the Browse button in the Import dialog shown above and select that file.

I had the same issue. To solve it I opened the server explorer (ctrl+alt+s) and refreshed the Azure connection. It still said 0 subscriptions, but in the publishing options I could connect without any issue.
