| 13 | +# Troubleshoot no eligible subscriptions |
| 14 | + |
| 15 | +This article helps you troubleshoot the *No eligible subscriptions* error message in the Azure portal when you try to purchase a reservation. |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +## Symptoms |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com) and navigate to **Reservations**. |
| 20 | +1. Select **Add** and then select a service. |
| 21 | +1. You see the following error message: |
| 22 | + ``` |
| 23 | + No eligible subscriptions |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | + You do not have any eligible subscriptions to purchase reservations. To purchase a reservation, you should be an owner on at least one subscription of the following type: Pay-as-you-go, CSP, Microsoft Enterprise or Microsoft Customer Agreement. |
| 26 | + ``` |
| 27 | +1. In the **Select the product you want to purchase** area, expand the **Billing subscription** list to see the reason why a specific subscription isn't eligible to purchase a reserved instance. The following image shows examples why a reservation can't be purchased. |

| 29 | +
|
| 30 | +## Cause |
| 31 | +
|
| 32 | +To buy an Azure reserved instance, you must have at least one subscription that meets the following requirements: |
| 33 | +
|
| 34 | +- The subscription must be a supported offer type. Supported offer types are: Pay-as-you-go, Cloud Solution Provider (CSP), Microsoft Azure Enterprise, or Microsoft Customer Agreement. |
| 35 | +- You must be an owner of the subscription. |
| 36 | +
|
| 37 | +When you don't have a subscription that meets the requirements, you'll get the `No eligible subscriptions` error. |
| 38 | +
|
| 39 | +### Cause 1 |
| 40 | +
|
| 41 | +The subscription must be a supported offer type. Supported offer types are: Pay-as-you-go, CSP, Microsoft Azure Enterprise, or Microsoft Customer Agreement. Your subscription type isn't one that's supported. When you select a subscription that has an offer type that doesn't support reservations, you see the following error. |
| 42 | +
|
| 43 | +``` |
| 44 | +Subscription not eligible for purchase |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +This subscription is not eligible for reservation benefit an cannot be used to purchase a reservation. |
| 47 | +``` |

| 50 | +
|
| 51 | +### Cause 2 |
| 52 | +
|
| 53 | +You must be an owner of the subscription. You're not an owner of the subscription. When you select a subscription that you're not an owner of, you see the following error. |
| 54 | +
|
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | +You do not have owner access on the subscription |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +You can only purchase reservations using subscriptions on which you have owner access. |
| 59 | +``` |

| 62 | +
|
| 63 | +## Solution |
| 64 | +
|
| 65 | +- If your current offer doesn't support reservations, you need to create a new Azure subscription. |
| 66 | +- If you don't have access to an existing reservation, you can get access to it from the current owner. |
| 67 | +
|
| 68 | +### Solution 1 |
| 69 | +
|
| 70 | +To buy a reservation, you need to create a new Azure subscription that supports reservations. |
| 71 | +
|
| 72 | +- If you have an Azure Free trial, you can [upgrade your subscription](../manage/upgrade-azure-subscription.md). |
| 73 | +- You can create a new Azure subscription with [pay-as-you-go rates](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/purchase-options/pay-as-you-go/). |
| 74 | +- Sign up for a [Microsoft Customer Agreement](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/purchase-options/microsoft-customer-agreement/) and create a new subscription. |
| 75 | +- Purchase a new subscription with a [CSP](https://www.microsoft.com/solution-providers/home) and create a new subscription. |
| 76 | +
|
| 77 | +### Solution 2 |
| 78 | +
|
| 79 | +To get owner access to a reservation, you must get access to either: |
| 80 | +
|
| 81 | +- The reservation order that the reservation was purchased with |
| 82 | +- The reservation itself |
| 83 | +
|
| 84 | +The current reservation order owner or reservation owner can delegate access to you using the following steps. |
| 85 | +
|
| 86 | +1. Sign in to the [Azure portal](https://portal.azure.com). |
| 87 | +1. Select **All Services** > **Reservation** to list reservations that you have access to. |
| 88 | +1. Select the reservation that you want to delegate access to other users. |
| 89 | +1. Select **Access control (IAM)**. |
| 90 | +1. Select **Add role assignment** > **Role** > **Owner**. Or, if you want to give limited access, select a different role. |
| 91 | +1. Type the email address of the user you want to add as owner. |
| 92 | +1. Select the user, and then select **Save**. |
| 93 | +

|
| 96 | +## Next steps |
| 97 | +
|
| 98 | +- Review [Add or change users who can manage a reservation](manage-reserved-vm-instance.md#add-or-change-users-who-can-manage-a-reservation) if you need to have a reservation owner grant you access. |
