    This makes sure that the Azure system is able to identify in which country your account get billed.

    It is important, as billing for SUSE Manager PAYG is handled via the Azure Marketplace. As there are restrictions on which countries this listing can be billed, the account you will transact to should be the one you are logged into.

    There are currently two offers for SUSE Manager PAYG on Microsoft Azure:

    Do not go directly to the Azure Marketplace and get the offer. Even if the offers are visible, they should not be selected from here, as the Azure Web page is not able to identify your billing account. Always log into the portal first

  3. Enter SUSE Manager 5.0 into the search field on the top and press RETURN

    You get a list of offerings and need to select the version of SUSE Manager 5.0 with 24x7 Support depending on your billing country.

    The offer show up as Azure Application and not as a Virtual Machine

  4. Click the description text to get the Product description and then on Plans + Pricing. If this is shown with a description and plan, you have chosen the right offer. If there is nothing shown you selected the wrong one.
