    Hello Heba Jabarin,

    It looks like you're looking to activate your Azure subscription service. Since you have Azure OLV products, you should be able to manage and activate your subscription directly from the Azure portal.

    Azure subscriptions purchased through the Open Licensing Program, which includes Open Value (OLV), are typically activated using an Online Service Activation (OSA) Key within the Microsoft 365 Admin Center

    Azure in Open Licensing uses Online Service Activation (OSA) keys with 25-character alphanumeric code provided by your reseller.

    Ensure that You must have:

    • Global Administrator role on your organization’s Microsoft Entra ID tenant.
    • Access to the Microsoft 365 admin center with Volume Licensing permissions.

     Activation through Email

    1. Locate the email titled "Sign in and activate your online services" sent to the Primary Contact.
    2. Click the activation link and enter your OSA product key.
    3. Provide organization details (name, email, phone, domain).
    4. Verify identity via text or call.
    5. Complete setup and manage subscription in the admin center.

     Directly in Microsoft 365 Admin Center

    1. Sign in at https://microsoft365.com/setupbusiness.
    2. Navigate to Billing > Your products > Volume licensing tab.
    3. Select View downloads and keys.
    4. Locate your Azure product and go to Keys tab.
    5. Click Manage activations → Start Activation.
    6. Choose:
      • Activate a New Subscription, or
      • Add more Azure credits to an existing subscription.
