Azure Dev Tools for Teaching - PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

Question

Azure Dev Tools for Teaching - PLAN ADMINISTRATOR

Morgan, Alex 0

I'm having difficulties renewing our Azure Dev Tools for Teaching institutional subscription again this year.

I’ve received the attached renewal email, however when I select Renew, I’m redirected through a series of pages and instructions, none of which provide a clear route to actually renew the organisation’s subscription. The online guidance appears to send me in circles rather than to a renewal portal.

Last year, the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching team was very helpful in guiding me through the process. I’d be grateful if someone from the same team, or the Azure for Education support team, could assist again this year.

This relates specifically to an institutional education subscription, not a standard Azure or Visual Studio subscription.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Kind regards,
Alex

Hello @Morgan, Alex

Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Q&A platform.

For Azure Dev Tools for Teaching (ADT4T) institutional subscriptions, the renewal process is handled through a dedicated management portal, not through the Azure portal. This is why the “Renew” link in the email can sometimes lead to confusing or circular navigation.

Please use the Azure Dev Tools for Teaching management portal directly:

https://azureforeducation.microsoft.com/Order

Then follow:

Select “Renew an existing plan”

Search for your institution and subscription

Verify administrator and plan details

Click “Confirm and Place Order”

This is the official documented renewal flow: Enroll or renew an Azure Dev Tools for Teaching subscription

ADT4T subscriptions do not renew automatically and must be renewed manually.

Reference: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/education-hub/azure-dev-tools-teaching/enroll-renew-subscription

Renewal is available up to 90 days before expiry and reminders are sent in advance.

If you are redirected in loops / cannot see renewal option, In cases where the renewal link does not lead to a usable page (as you described), the next supported step is to contact the Azure for Education support team, as they manage institutional subscriptions.

Support page: https://azureforeducation.microsoft.com/institutions/Contact

Renewal must be completed via the ADT4T management portal only

Email links may not always work reliably

If the portal flow is unclear or looping, Azure for Education support needs to assist further.

Thanks,
Suchitra.

Thank you Suchitra,

When I click on the link https://azureforeducation.microsoft.com/Order or any other URL or link that states it will take me to the dedicated management portal, they just loop into various MS Learn / Microsoft Build 2026 webpages.

I've raised a support ticket with the Azure for Education support team.

I don't understand why each year the process changes and gets more complicated, but I hope to resolve this.

Thanks

I think the loop just means ur tenant never received the ADT4T renewal‑entry, so the portal has nothing to render; just try the original plan‑admin once, and if “Renew” still won’t surface, send tenant ID thru Education Hub → Support and they’ll republish it for u.
