Azure Marketplace SaaS Usage Service is a solution to help ISVs accelerate setting up Azure Marketplace Offers and integrate with the Fulfillment and Metering APIs.

The solution comprises two web applications – a Provisioning service that provides a landing interface for customers purchasing the ISV published offer via Azure and a Publisher Admin Console that allows Publisher / ISV to manage subscriptions and post usage against subscriptions to Azure.

The following are the capabilities of each of the applications:

User Portal

·         Place the request for purchase of a subscription

·         View License keys assigned to subscriptions ( optional )

ISV Admin Portal

·         View and manage subscriptions against the Azure Marketplace Transactable SaaS Offer

·         Activate subscription

·         Switch subscriptions between plans

·         Post usage against subscriptions ( single / bulk upload of usage details )

·         Manage licenses against subscriptions
