How to pay for Microsoft services now?

Question

Windows

Well, let's say there is a corporate Tims with a drive, paid for by a card.

After recent events, payment with a local card has of course become impossible, payment with a card from another country is also not possible - the Microsoft admin panel simply does not accept, because the region is "wrong". Support said that "well, yes, you cannot link a card of another country."

What to do? I also don't want to leave bills unpaid. Does anyone have any ideas?

Answer 1

No way, because Microsoft suspends sales of products and provision of services on the territory of the Russian Federation due to the war in Ukraine.

Like the rest of the world, we are horrified, outraged and saddened by the images and news coming from the war in Ukraine and condemn this unjustified, unprovoked and illegal Russian invasion.

Today we announce that we are suspending all new sales of Microsoft products and services in Russia.

In addition, we closely coordinate and work closely with the governments of the United States, the European Union, and the United Kingdom, and we are shutting down many aspects of our business in Russia in accordance with government sanctions decisions.

Answer 2

Issue a card of a foreign bank.

Answer 3

Raise your nextcloud and don't worry.
Well, or a map of another country

Answer 4

No way.
Just cut live, changing to something else. This other will undoubtedly be worse, dumber, clumsier and clumsier - but at least it will not depend on the work of "corporate licensing centers" in Zabugoria.
Of course it is sad. For all my dislike for MS - her office was quite good. Now the user will have to grimace, choke, but eat a cactus bundle of LibreOffice + Thunderbird...
