I switched from MAPS Core to Partner Launch Benefits. My Azure resources still show the now expired MPN Subscription. How do I switch all my Azure resources to use the new Partner Launch Benefits subscription?

Thanks!

    Hello @George Volakakis Thank you for your post and I apologize for the delayed response.Switching your Azure resources from one subscription to another involves a few steps. Here's a general guide to help you transition your resources from your expired MPN subscription to your new Partner Launch Benefits subscription:

    1. Begin by identifying all the Azure resources that are currently associated with your expired MPN subscription. This includes virtual machines, databases, storage accounts, etc.
    2. Create New Subscription. If you haven't already done so, ensure that your new Partner Launch Benefits subscription is set up and active in your Azure account.
    3. If your resources are not too complex or if you don't have a lot of data that needs to be migrated, you might consider recreating the resources under your new subscription. This ensures a clean transition without any lingering dependencies on the old subscription.
    4. Azure provides the ability to move resources between subscriptions. You can use the Azure portal, Azure PowerShell, or Azure CLI to initiate the move. Keep in mind that not all resources are eligible for moving, and there might be limitations depending on the resource type. To move resources using the Azure portal:
      • Navigate to the resource you want to move.
        - In the resource's menu, look for an option like "Change subscription" or "Move" and follow the prompts to select the new subscription.
      • To move resources using Azure PowerShell or Azure CLI: - Use the appropriate command to initiate the move operation, specifying the resource group and the target subscription ID.
    5. After moving or recreating your resources, verify that they are now associated with your new Partner Launch Benefits subscription. You can do this by checking the subscription details in the Azure portal or by using Azure PowerShell/Azure CLI to list resources in the subscription.
    6. Make sure that billing information and access permissions are correctly configured for your new subscription. This includes ensuring that billing contacts, cost management settings, and role-based access control (RBAC) assignments are updated as needed.

    If you encounter any difficulties during the process, don't hesitate to reach out to Azure support for assistance. They can provide guidance tailored to your specific situation and help ensure a smooth transition.

    Hope this helps. Feel free to write back to us if you have any questions!
