To make sure a licensed image is available to lab users, a lab owner with admin permissions must first accept the terms and conditions for that licensed image. Enabling programmatic deployment for the subscription associated with a licensed image automatically accepts the legal terms and privacy statements for that image. [Working with Marketplace Images on Azure Resource Manager](https://azure.microsoft.com/blog/working-with-marketplace-images-on-azure-resource-manager/) provides additional information about programmatic deployment of marketplace images.

We're currently working on migrating existing blog posts (excluding outage updates) to our [DevTest Labs documentation](devtest-lab-overview.md). When the MSDN blog is deprecated, it will be redirected to the documentation overview for DevTest Labs. Once redirected, you can search for the article you're looking for in the 'Filter by' title. We haven't migrated all posts yet, but should be done by end of this month.

A Microsoft account is an account you use for almost everything you do with Microsoft devices and services. It’s an email address and password that you use to sign into Skype, Outlook.com, OneDrive, Windows phone, Azure, and Xbox Live. A single account means that your files, photos, contacts, and settings can follow you on any device.
