The two annual plans are sold on Microsoft Marketplace and billed through your Microsoft account. Plan sizes and the trial are described on Plans and trial; monthly and enterprise options are on Monthly and enterprise billing.

Purchase and connect

Marketplace plans are billed annually in advance through your Microsoft account, and General Validation issues no separate invoice for them. Microsoft activates the subscription and starts billing when you complete the purchase, even if you still need to connect it to General Validation. Review the plan, agreed price, term, and renewal settings before buying. For an existing trial Organization, buy for the same Microsoft directory using the work account you use as its Owner. General Validation connects that purchase automatically. Return to Billing and refresh to check your plan and Table Pair limit. Your Organization, members, Table Pairs, Tests, and Results stay in place. If your Organization already has a paid subscription or an unfinished direct payment, manage that subscription or contact support@generalvalidation.com before buying another one. Each Organization has one billing provider.

Finish a connection when needed

Use Configure account when the purchase needs an Organization or another Owner’s approval, or if the expected plan has not appeared in Billing.
  1. Open your SaaS purchase in Microsoft’s portal and choose Configure account.
  2. Sign in with the Microsoft account that purchased or received the subscription, then start the Organization connection.
  3. Open the review link as an Owner of the General Validation Organization receiving the purchase. If someone else owns that Organization, share the link with them. If you need a new Organization, create it in General Validation first, then reopen the review link.
  4. Review the plan and Organization, then confirm the connection. When the buyer is also the Owner, this completes the connection in one action. If a different Owner approves it, return to the buyer page to finish the connection.
  5. If confirmation is pending, choose Check activation. Once the subscription is active, open your workspace and check Billing.
General Validation applies paid access after verifying the purchase and its Organization connection. Connecting a subscription does not create Fabric resources or set up your Environment. See Set up your Environment. Because an Organization has one billing provider, activation is refused while another subscription or an unfinished direct payment, including a pending ACH payment, exists. If you subscribed monthly in the app and want to move to Marketplace, contact support@generalvalidation.com before purchasing so the subscriptions do not overlap. Each Marketplace plan has a quantity of one, and Marketplace free trials are not accepted because General Validation provides its own trial. If your activation link expires, return to your purchase in Marketplace and choose Configure account again. After activation, Billing shows Provider as Azure Marketplace and offers Manage in Azure Marketplace: in the Azure portal, open SaaS and select your subscription. Renewal, supported plan changes, suspension, and cancellation all happen there, and General Validation updates your plan after Microsoft reports the change. Cancelling does not delete your Organization, its configuration, or any resource in your Fabric tenant.
