Activating Guance Commercial Plan on Microsoft Cloud Marketplace¶

This article will guide you through the process of subscribing to Guance services on Microsoft Cloud Marketplace, activating the Guance Commercial Plan, and using your Microsoft account for billing.

Note: Billing via a Microsoft Cloud account only supports US dollars.

Subscribing to Guance¶

1. Log in and visit the Guance product page on Microsoft Cloud Marketplace;
2. Click Get It Now;
3. In the pop-up window, check the agreement and click Continue;
4. You will be redirected to the subscription page by default; select a subscription resource group;
5. Confirm your subscription information on the new page, define a name, choose a billing period, and whether to renew;
6. Click Review + Subscribe at the bottom left;
7. After confirming that the information is correct, click Subscribe;
8. Subscription successful.

Activating Guance Commercial Plan¶

After clicking, you will be automatically redirected to the Guance activation page. If your current Microsoft Cloud account is not linked to a Guance Billing Center account, two scenarios may occur:

No Billing Center Account: You need to register for a Guance account and a Billing Center account, then bind the cloud account for billing;

Has Billing Center Account: You can directly bind the Billing Center account to enable cloud account billing.

No Billing Center Account¶

If you do not have a Billing Center account yet, click next to be automatically redirected to the registration page. Complete the registration process to obtain both a Guance account and a Billing Center account.

1. Fill in basic information;
2. Provide company information;
3. Choose the activation method: enter a workspace name, select the workspace language, and click Activate to complete registration.

Has Billing Center Account¶

If you already have a Billing Center account, click next to go directly to the binding page:

Note: The site selection in the top-right corner of this page is unrelated to the Billing Center binding process. It only affects the site selection when creating a workspace later, and cannot be changed after creation.

Binding Billing Center Account¶

Enter the username of the Billing Center account and verify via email to bind it;

If you have workspaces available for binding under your Guance Billing Center account, simply click Bind.
