We’re trying to subscribe to a third-party SaaS (HiddenLayer) from Azure Marketplace, but it's failing during provisioning. We believe it may be blocked by a spending cap or subscription type restriction. Has anyone experienced a workaround?

We’re trying to subscribe to a third-party SaaS (HiddenLayer) from Azure Marketplace, but it's failing during provisioning. We believe it may be blocked by a spending cap or subscription type restriction. Can you confirm if the subscription is eligible and help remove any spend limits?

Can anyone advise on if this is common or unique a misconfig somewhere?

    If you are experiencing issues provisioning a third-party SaaS like HiddenLayer from the Azure Marketplace, it could indeed be related to a spending cap or subscription type restriction. Here are some points to consider:

    1. Spending Limit: If your subscription has a spending limit, it may prevent you from deploying certain third-party services. You might want to check if the spending limit is enabled and consider removing it if necessary. You can remove the spending limit in the Azure portal, which may help in provisioning the service.
    2. Subscription Type: Ensure that your Azure subscription type is eligible for the service you are trying to provision. Some services may not be available under certain subscription types, especially if they require specific permissions or configurations.
    3. Permissions: Make sure that the user account you are using has the necessary permissions (Owner or Contributor) on the Azure subscription to complete the purchase and provisioning of the service.
    4. Azure Policy: Check if there are any Azure Policies in place that might be blocking the provisioning of the service. These policies can restrict the use of certain resources or services.

    If you have verified these aspects and are still facing issues, it may be helpful to reach out to Azure support for further assistance.

    Hi @Jesse Kofler ,
    This is a common scenario when purchasing third-party SaaS offers from Azure Marketplace and is usually related to subscription or billing restrictions rather than a Hidden Layer issue.

    Azure Marketplace SaaS offers require a paid Azure subscription (Pay-As-You-Go or Enterprise Agreement). Subscriptions such as Free Trial, Visual Studio (monthly credit), Azure Pass, or any subscription with an active spending cap are not eligible and will fail during provisioning.

    To resolve this, verify the following:

    The subscription type is Pay-As-You-Go or EA

    Spending cap is disabled

    Marketplace purchases are allowed at the billing account / tenant level

    The user provisioning the offer has Owner or Contributor permissions

    No Azure Policy is blocking Marketplace or SaaS resource creation

    If the subscription meets these requirements and the issue still occurs, check the Activity Log for Marketplace errors and open a case with Azure Support to confirm Marketplace eligibility. This behavior is common and typically resolved by adjusting subscription or billing settings rather than correcting a unique misconfiguration.

    Thankyou!
