Create a product upgrade entity for a customer

Article
10/01/2024

You can create a product upgrade entity to upgrade a customer to a given product family (for example, Azure plan) using the ProductUpgradeRequest resource.

Prerequisites

Credentials as described in Partner Center authentication. This scenario supports authentication with App+User credentials. Follow the secure app model when using App+User authentication with Partner Center APIs.
A customer ID (customer-tenant-id). If you don't know the customer's ID, you can look it up in Partner Center by selecting the Customers workspace, then the customer from the customer list, then Account. On the customer's Account page, look for the Microsoft ID in the Customer Account Info section. The Microsoft ID is the same as the customer ID (customer-tenant-id).
The product family to which you want to upgrade the customer.

C#

To upgrade a customer to Azure plan:

Create a ProductUpgradesRequest object and specify the customer identifier and "Azure" as the product family.
Use the IAggregatePartner.ProductUpgrades collection.
Call the Create method and pass in the ProductUpgradesRequest object, which will return a location header string.
Extract the upgrade-id from the location header string that can be used to query the upgrade status.

// IAggregatePartner partnerOperations;

string selectedCustomerId = "58e2af4f-0ad3-4688-8744-be2357cd939a";

string selectedProductFamily = "Azure";

var productUpgradeRequest = new ProductUpgradesRequest
{
    CustomerId = selectedCustomerId,
    ProductFamily = selectedProductFamily
};

var productUpgradeLocationHeader = partnerOperations.ProductUpgrades.Create(productUpgradeRequest);

var upgradeId = Regex.Split(productUpgradeLocationHeader, "/")[1];

Each response comes with an HTTP status code that indicates success or failure and additional debugging information. Use a network trace tool to read this code, error type, and additional parameters. For the full list, see Partner Center REST error codes.
