How to Associate an Application ID with the Subscription ID

Previously, Microsoft required you to submit a form and provide the subscription ID to get access to the Protected APIs. Now, this process is automated and you can use an Azure application instantly.

For the automatic approval of Protected APIs from Microsoft, you need to associate an Azure application and Azure subscription.

To access metered APIs and services in Microsoft Graph, the application registered in the Azure Active Directory must be associated with an Azure subscription. For more information on metered APIs and services, see Enable metered APIs and services in Microsoft Graph - Microsoft Graph | Microsoft Learn.

If you do not link the Azure application with the subscription, the billing mode of a request gets converted into evaluation mode even though Arcserve has specified Model-B. Using the evaluation mode, you can only backup up to 500 messages per application per month. If the request exceeds the limit, then the backup job skips the Teams messages with the following exception:

Code: PaymentRequired

Message: To call this API, the app must be associated with an Azure subscription, see https://aka.ms/teams-api-payment-requirements for details.

This section provides information about how to associate an application ID with the subscription ID.
