Update on my issue with the trial ending only a few hours after start.

Started mailing the service dept and they responded:


Hi #####
 
I have checked your Free Trial registered under ###@mail.com on 11/14/2013.
The subscription has been locked by our accounts team,  so I will work with my accounts team and get back to you with a reason on the status.
 
Kindly permit me 24hours for a valid response.
 
Have a nice evening.



What...the-....heck?

Here is the TOS of the free trial:

http://www.windowsazure.com/en-us/offers/ms-azr-0044p


It clearly states that once you use all your credit
limit the service is stopped and you will have an
option to use pay-as-you-go plan after that.

Don't worry guys they can't charge you extra since its a free trial, its a 30-day trial and a 220$ credit. Trial ends with 30 days or after you spend all of the 220$ free credit whichever comes first. After that you can either leave and everything you have is terminated or continue by paying upfront for the amount of hours you want.

They'll never ever charge your credit card after using the trial credits as they need your consent to whether you would like to continue using their service.

Sure that solves the problem.
If I helped you and want to show your appreciation donate any amount:

no. I was at 1148 Norwegian crowns. Around 199 dollar.
Started it up today and it ran about 5 hours. Impossible to use the limit within that time.

After talking to a microsoft assistant engineer i got the understanding that the 29 days are free.  BUT if you use up the 200 dollar the exceeding ammount will be charged on your credit card.

Got 3 VPS running:

Using all 20 cores, 56+56+28 RAM and have the miners running on them with 100% CPU usage.

Its costing me around 50$ every 24 hours so I'll probably mine for 4 days and a few hours before everything is shutdown.

To actually buy this would be crazy very expensive.

I don't think you need to use the additional RAM of the A6 and A7 machines, just use 2 x XL (14GB) and 1 x L (7GB) I'm getting about 90 col/m out of the XL and 46 col/m out of the L

It will probably last a bit longer time wise I think 4.9 days

Not sure but I think they only charge you for computing time (CPU usage), I did not mistake and have too much memory only using about 7GB out of the 56GB. Might look for something cheaper and rent by the hour, amazon spot instances seems good but I'll wait for a PTC mining calculator to be released to see if its profitable.

Yes that's what I mean, you have picked systems A6 and A7 which are more expensive, and will use up your free credit quicker and the extra RAM is pointless.

If you choose systems L and XL you will get the same mining speed but it will use up your free credit slower

L = 4 core 7GB $0.36/hour
XL=8core 14GB $0.72/hour

A6=4core 28GB RAM $0.80/hour
A7=8core 56GB RAM $1.60/hour

Once you have spent $200 of the free trial it will stop
