Visual Studio not finding my Azure subscriptions

Question

I have a working Azure account with various services already running. I receive monthly bills for these.

Now, I created a workerrole in Visual Studio that I want to deploy. I get the "Publish Windows Azure Application" screen that asks me to sign in. After I sign in, I get the message that I don't have a subscription:

"Sorry but we didn't find any Windows Azure Subscriptions associated with your account. You can sign in with a different account or sign up for a Windows Azure subscription".

Using a browser I can login in the Azure Portal with the same username/password. I can view my subscription, billing statments, etc.

When logging in I get a message to choose between "Organisational account" or "Microsoft account". It does not make a difference which I choose.

Answer 1

So I stumbled upon this question and I had the latest Azure SDK (2.8.2 at this time) installed. My default directory and subscription would show up and not the other ones I had access to. I was using VS 2015 Enterprise. So clicking on the top right Corner on my account inside Visual Studio 2015 and clicking on "Account settings" took me here:

I located the option "Apply Filter". This option only appears if your Visual Studio credentials are not stale. Otherwise, it says "Renenter your credentials" and only after that this option re-appears on the "Account Settings" inside Visual Studio 2015.

Click on the "Apply Filter" and a new form shows up as shown below:

Please note that it might take a while for Visual Studio to query and populate all the azure directories to which you have access to. Clicking the dropdown list a few times might help if you are eager enough. Select the directory you want to set as default. and Click the "Apply" button.

A window might appear asking you to re-enter your Microsoft Account credentials. Enter the Credentials and click signin to complete the process.

Visual Stdio might do some processing before the switch process completes as shown.

Once that is done, you are taken back to the form where you applied the filter. Now the filtered directory should be shown as below:

Close the form and restart Visual Studio. Hope that this helps.
