Unable to create SQL database in Azure

Question

Hi, 

I have an Azure free trial account. However, it doesn't allow me to create a Basic tier SQL database on the management portal, but shows an error saying 'the operation is not supported for your subscription offer type'. My free trial only started today. Could you please tell me how I can resolve this issue. Thank you.

Hi tinkertest,

Based on my research, the error you saw should only occur for a subscription used with a free trial offer type. Please use the below link to open a support ticket.

You can check the following links for similar issues.

The operation is not supported for your subscription offer type

Can't change performance level S1 to S2. "The operation is not supported for your subscription offer type."

Thanks,
