    To reactivate your Azure for Students subscription that has been disabled while creating a Virtual Network (VNet), you need to identify the reason for the deactivation. Common reasons include running out of credit, your credit expiring, or accidentally canceling your subscription.

    1. Check Your Credit: If you used all of your $100 credit or if it has expired, your subscription will be disabled. You can check your remaining credit by signing into the Microsoft Azure Sponsorships portal.
    2. Upgrade Your Subscription: If your credit has expired or you have used it all, you will need to upgrade your subscription to a pay-as-you-go plan. You can do this by contacting Azure support.
    3. Accidental Cancellation: If you accidentally canceled your subscription, you can reactivate it by contacting Azure support. Upon reactivation, you will still have access to any remaining credit and free services for 12 months from your sign-up date.
    4. Check for Past Due Bills: If your subscription is disabled due to a past due balance, you will need to settle any outstanding charges. You can follow the instructions in the Azure portal to resolve this issue.

    After addressing the issue, it may take up to 24 hours for your subscription to be reactivated. If you experience delays beyond this, consider contacting Azure Billing Support for assistance.

    Hello Victor Valentine Japhet, It sounds like your Azure for Students subscription was disabled.Your subscription might have been disabled due to a few reasons, such as using all your credit, Even though VNet creation itself is usually free, creating the network and its related components (like public IPs or gateway dependencies) might have pushed your total usage or credit over the limit. Student subscriptions have a fixed credit/limit.

    Your credit expiring or accidentally canceling your subscription. you can verify below

    1. Go to Azure portal > select Cost Management + Billing from the left menu.
    2. Select Subscriptions, then click your Azure for Students subscription.
    3. Under Cost Management, choose:
      • Credits Remaining or Payment Methods → Azure Credits.
      • You’ll see: Starting credit balance, Remaining balance and Expiration date

    To reactivate your subscription, you can reach out support team by submitting a support request through the azure portal. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-portal/supportability/how-to-create-azure-support-request

    Hope this helps! thanks.
