Azure Pass MCAMUOT86AXF2X Each of you receives an activation code for an Azure Pass Good for $500 in Azure credits for one month In the first hands-on lab, you will activate your Azure Pass and associate it with a Microsoft account MCAMUOT86AXF2X Students who don't already have a Microsoft account (or do have one but need a new one because their existing account has already been used with an Azure Pass) will create a new Microsoft account in the first lab before activating their Azure Pass. A good way to introduce this slide is to say "Azure isn't free. But we want you to do your learning on Microsoft's dime, not on your own."
