I need to fill out the form to access DALL-E, but the only option available is for businesses.

Hello!

I'm doing some exercises on the Escola do Trabalhador platform with Azure and I need access to DALL-E and GPTs, which are restricted. However, when I accessed the form (https://customervoice.microsoft.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=v4j5cvGGr0GRqy180BHbR7en2Ais5pxKtso_Pz4b1_xUQ1VGQUEzRlBIMVU2UFlHSFpSNkpOR0paRSQlQCN0PWcu) that was made available here in the questions and answers, I found that it is only allowed for those who have a company.

Has anyone else using the platform's learning paths encountered this problem? Could you help me resolve this issue so I can submit the form for approval?

Another question: are free accounts usually rejected?

Thank you in advance! :)

    Hi Gabriela Aparecida Da Silva Miranda

    Thank you for reaching out to us on the Microsoft Q&A forum.

    The Microsoft Customer Voice form for Azure OpenAI (including DALL·E and GPT models) is designed for enterprise customers and partners, not for personal accounts. This is part of Microsoft’s responsible AI gating process. Access is granted based on eligibility criteria such as:

    • Having an Azure subscription that is Pay-As-You-Go or enterprise-level.
    • Providing organizational details (company name, business email).
    • Meeting compliance and responsible AI requirements.

    Free or student accounts are usually rejected

    • Free trial and Azure for Students subscriptions do not support Azure OpenAI anymore for these gated models.
    • Requests from personal accounts (e.g., Gmail, Outlook) are typically denied.
    • If you’re a student, using a college-issued email may help, but approval is still not guaranteed.
    • If your request doesn’t meet the acceptance criteria, Microsoft recommends using the OpenAI public API instead. Several learners on platforms like Escola do Trabalhador have reported the same issue: the form requires company details, and personal/free accounts are not accepted. This is a common gating policy for Azure OpenAI services.

    you can do

    1. Switch to a Pay-As-You-Go Azure subscription (requires a valid payment method).
    2. If you’re affiliated with an organization (school, employer), use that domain email.
    3. For exercises, consider:
      • Using OpenAI’s public API (openai.com) for DALL·E and GPT.
        • Exploring Azure AI Foundry Playground for models that don’t require gated access.
    4. If you only need image generation for learning, check out free tiers of other tools like Bing Image Creator (powered by DALL·E). Reference

    Access to DALL-E and GPTs is typically restricted to managed customers who work directly with Microsoft account teams. If the registration form you encountered is only available for businesses, it indicates that individual or free accounts may not be eligible for access.

    Regarding your question about free accounts, they are often rejected for Limited Access services as these services are primarily intended for organizations that can demonstrate a specific use case and have a formal relationship with Microsoft. If you are not affiliated with a business, you might consider reaching out to Microsoft to inquire about potential eligibility programs or alternatives for individual users.
