    How Do I Enable?

    Automatic Customer Account Generation

    Allows CloudCheckr to create a billing-only subscription any time Azure adds a new subscription to your EA or CSP account.

    Keep in mind:

    • This option will not convert currency.
    • You cannot change the currency code once selected.
    • You can convert these billing-only subscriptions to subscriptions with resources.

    By default, this option is Disabled. To enable, toggle the switch.

    Currency

    Allows you to select the currency manually.

    You cannot change your currency code once you make a selection.

    CloudCheckr will attempt to detect the currency that Microsoft writes your Azure cost to. If it cannot, select a currency code.
