AZURE free Subscription

May 7, 2016Ashwini Tripathi

I will be going with few posts demonstrating the Navision in Azure environment.

To start with we will be required to subscribe to Azure first.

Open page:

https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/

Click on Start now.

Enter your Mobile No to verify you phone no.
Next you will be required to verify your credit card.

Once both things are verified you can start with Sign up with the Azure Subscription.
Before you start with managing your services on Azure here presented few FAQ.

Few FAQ on Azure Subscription.

Why is my credit card being charged $1 for signing up for the Free Trial offer?

To ensure a valid credit card, Microsoft will charge your credit card $1 when signing up
for the Free Trial Offer. This is only an authorization hold, the charge will be reversed
within 3-5 business days.
What happens with the services I created after the 30-day trial period ends?

Once the trial period is over, if you have not upgraded to a Pay-As-You-Go Azure
subscription, we will decommission your services, and you will not be able to use them
anymore.

What do I get when I sign up for a Free Trial?

You receive a $200 credit to spend on Azure services during the trial. You can use this
$200 however you want to create and try out any combination of Azure resources. It
enables you to explore our cloud entirely for free.

Do I pay anything during the trial?

No – the trial is absolutely free.

Do I have to pay something at the end of the trial?

No – there is absolutely no obligation to buy anything at the end of the trial.

How do I know how much of the $200 I’ve used and how much I have left?

During the trial we display your remaining trial credits at the top of the management
portal. You cannot miss it.

What happens if I exceed the $200 free trial credit?

If you exceed your $200 free credit, we will suspend your free trial account. You can
optionally upgrade your trial to be a Pay-As-You-Go Azure subscription at this point if you
want to continue using and paying for services. If not, don’t worry – you won’t be billed
anything.

Please refer to updated FAQ on site at time of using, all information is true as on date of
this post, anything can change. https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/free-trial-faq/

May 9, 2016Ashwini Tripathi

Continuing from my previous post.

In previous post we saw how to register for Free Azure Portal Account, if you missed you
can find the link here.

Today we will see how to create Virtual Machine for Dynamics Navision 2016 pre
Loaded.

Lets start creating one for our future posts practice.

Open the page : https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/free/ and follow onscreen Instruction
to login to your account.

Login using the account credentials you used for registering on Azure Portal.

Upon signing you will be landed to your dashboard on Portal.

You can see we don’t have any resource on Portal yet.

Lets start creating one.

Click on New from Top right corner.

Choose Virtual Machine.

Enter “Microsoft Dynamics NAV 2016” in the search box, it will list available Virtual
Machine images.

Select the one available Virtual Machine for commissioning.

I have choose this because we will get preinstalled NAV 2016 which will save our time.
Select Deployment Model, I have choose Classic and click on Create.
Next we will enter Host Name, User Name, Password, other things you adjust as per
your need. Click on Create.

Note your User Name & Password you will require this to login to the Server.

Give some time to get created and up your Server.

In the mean time you can explore other things till your Server is up and running for you.

Once it is made available, you can start login and explore your newly created Server.

Where to find my Server?

From the Navigation Bar choose Virtual Machine (classic).

It will list you all Virtual Machines created by you.

Select your Virtual Machine in my case it is NavDemo.

You can find the Server Name and IP of your Virtual Machine.

I am using my IP to login to my Server.

Open your Remote Desktop Connection and enter your IP.

The User Name & Password as we created in previous step.

Here I am Login to my Server.
You can see that Dynamics NAV 2016 is already available with my Server.
That’s all for today, we will see more in my upcoming posts.

Till then keep exploring & Learning.
