Bizspark program and Azure

Question

From the link below, it seems like bizspark subscribers can use azure for dev/testing and production use. So the $150 monthly recurring credit is usable for both dev/test and production. I am unclear as to if the 120 hour limit applies to bizspark subscribers. There is a mention of the limit to msdn subscribers.

" If you're with the bizspark program, the benefits page makes no mention of the "no production" or 120 hour detection thing that the regular benefits page does. However, there is still no SLA. "

Answer 1

BizSpark members retain production rights completely. This is detailed in the offer here: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0064p/. It sounds confusing, but the associated BizSpark MSDN account does not have the dev/test restriction.

Key phrase:

In addition, BizSpark members retain production use rights under this Azure benefits offer.

I have a BizSpark startup LLC that I've been using for over 1.5 years just fine on this program including long-running production IaaS VMs.
