I keep getting this error "A Windows Azure platform 30 day pass has already been requested for this Windows Live ID. Limit one per account." I remember trying it once last year but does that mean I can never avail the 30 day pass again? Thanks.Anonymous

Kris, you are correct that you cannot use the same liveID to get the Azure 30 Day pass. LiveIDs are free by the way and you can have multiple LiveIDs
