Operation results in exceeding quota limits of Core. Maximum allowed: 4, Current in use: 0, Additional requested: 6

Question

I'm trying to create a free account and start using the SharePoint 2013 non-HA Farm VM in Microsoft Azure.

But I'm facing the following error as I'm going through the registration process.

Operation results in exceeding quota limits of Core. Maximum allowed: 4, Current in use: 0, Additional requested: 6

Can you tell me what should I select so that I'm able to proceed (I tried to select minimum requirements, which went down from 10 to 6 quota)? I'm not too sure how the quota was counted. Is there anyone experienced the same issue before?

Answer 1

You bumped into a quota limit enforced by Azure to prevent misuse.

You can increase the quota limit through a free support request in Azure. It took me 1 minute to get the approval, seems to be fully automated.
