Single-sign-on and no faffing around with InPrivate or having to log-out all the time. Now on my organisational account I have a nice $150 per month subscription right where I can use it. But below you should see a вЂњWhat can I do?вЂќ question and below that an option to use your MSDN allotment. If you already have an active subscription it will say that you canвЂ™t activate your trial. Head back to and select вЂњActivate Microsoft AzureвЂќ and login with your Organisational Account. You should get your cancelation email really quicklyвЂ¦ mine came in almost as quickly as I clicked the button. You will lose all access to anything you created in there. It only takes a few seconds to cancel, but be warned. Once there you can select the subscription that came from your MSDN benefits, in my case I had three old subscriptions as well. Using an вЂInPrivateвЂ™ browser tab head over to and cancel all of your MSDN benefit your subscriptions. To swap it over we need to remove all of our subscriptions. Either way, the only thing that matters is where you see the benefits when you log in. Once we receive that information, we will respond with more.

What should I do Go through the Visual Studio benefit sign up process one more time. In you might see your MSDN linked to your Organisational Account or your Microsoft Account. When I try to activate my Visual Studio benefit, its saying its been redeemed.

If, like me, you are moving all of your Microsoft ID (was Live ID) corporate stuff over to Organisational Id (Office 365) and you have previously activated your MSDN benefits against your Microsoft ID you have a bit of work to move those benefits over. If you are trying to reuse your MSDN benefits with your Org ID but you previously activated against your Microsoft ID then you will need to cancel your subscription to reuse it.
