The updated steps below are based off documentation Microsoft provided to share with users to log in to the portal and access their benefits.
To access the Microsoft Azure Portal:
-
Clear the cache and cookies of the browser you are using.
-
Use InPrivate or Incognito browser.
-
Go to portal.azure.com.
-
Enter your Owens email address and password then hit ‘Next’.
-
Upon signing in, you may be asked to agree to the terms and conditions and the Academic/Student verification (for first-time users). This step is required to validate your account and ensure access to the benefit.
-
If not, you should then be routed to the Education | Overview page, where you will see the activated $100 credit.
-
To view all available software, from the left‑hand menu, select Learning Resources, then choose Software from the dropdown.
-
Use the small search bar or scroll down to find the specific software you need.
-
Click on the ‘View Key’ button to generate the product key. For your reference, please be advised that most of the software found in the Education Hub portal has their own product keys designated for them. These product keys are specifically used to activate the software once they are successfully installed in your device and are intended for one-time use only.
-
Click ‘Download’ to download the software.
If you experience any difficulties, please submit a complete screen recording through the Submit Online Request form. The recording should begin at the login page and continue until the error message appears so we can investigate the issue in detail.
For additional details, you may refer to: Frequently asked questions about Azure for Education | Microsoft Learn.
If you are having trouble logging into the Azure Portal, please contact the Owens IT Help Desk.
