Transfer custom vision model from one account to another

Question

Can I transfer my Azure custom vision image training model from one student account to another?

And if yes how do I do it?

And also on a side note, since my complete credits in the student account are used up, the account is disabled and I am not able to access even my results. So on such a basis how do I access my model and transfer it to another student account?

Hello Varsha GR,

Greetings and Welcome to Microsoft Q&A! Thanks for posting the question.

Yes, you can transfer an Azure Custom Vision model, but not directly due to account-specific restrictions. You can follow these steps to achieve this:

Retrieve the Project ID using the GetProjects API or from the project settings in the Custom Vision portal of the original account, Refer here Get the project ID.

export the project using the ExportProject API with the project ID and training key of your source account. This will generate a temporary token string that you will use for importing the project, Refer here Export the project.

Import the project into the new account using the ImportProject API with the token string and the training key of your target account, Import the project also refer this Copy and back up your Custom Vision projects.

If your Azure student account is disabled due to used-up credits, you won't be able to directly access your results or export your model.

Upgrade your student subscription to a pay-as-you-go plan. This will enable continued access to Azure services and allow you to retrieve your projects.

Alternatively, if you have another Azure account, try accessing the project using the same credentials. From there, you can export the project. If direct access is not possible, you may need to recreate the project using the original data and configurations.

I hope you understand. And, if you have any further query do let us know.
