As invitation codes for Azure Services are sent to customers through emails, many customers wonder if they can check online to ensure the codes are not "swallowed" by the powerful spam filter.  There is actually a way to check this.

  1. Log on to http://connect.microsoft.com/ with the Live ID that you signed up for Azure Services Invitations
  2. Click on Dashboard link on the top bar
  3. Under Azure Services Invitations, customer can examine different programs

By default, once you sign up for Azure Services Invitations, you will be able to see "Home" program.  You will see different service programs appear in your Connection once the corresponding service invitation codes are sent to your Connect verified email address. 

For instance, in the above picture, this customer has already gotten invitation codes for

  • Microsoft .NET Services and Microsoft SQL Services
  • Windows Azure

Note that registering Azure Services Invitations through Microsoft Connect will automatically line you up for the following services and there are no additional steps required.

  1. Live Services
  2. Windows .NET Services and Microsoft SQL Services 
  3. Windows Azure

At last, if you know you should have invitation codes according to the Connect Dashboard, but somehow the email did not get to you.  Please post your concerns to the corresponding service forum.  Note that it might be very helpful to provide your full name or email that you used in the registration.  However, please don't share your invitation code in the forum unless you intend to :).
