Developer account fees and locations

The Windows program in Partner Center offers both individual and company accounts in many countries and regions. Both accounts give you access to publish apps to the Store and to participate in additional Microsoft programs.

Note

When opening your developer account, make sure to sign in to Partner Center with the Microsoft account that you want to use for your developer account. You'll have the option to add additional users to the account later.

When you begin the signup process the system will determine which account types are available to you. In some cases, you may be able to choose between an individual account or a company account. In other situations, the account type selection may be limited or pre-determined based on your Microsoft account and other factors. Both account types will allow you to submit apps, games, add-ins, and services.

Company accounts must be used for organizations and businesses and any person acting in relation to their trade or profession. For company accounts, we require greater verification to confirm that you’re authorized to set up the account for your company, as well as requiring that you enter a customer contact email, business address, and business phone number if available. Individual accounts are usually appropriate for a single developer working on their own.

Important

You can't change the account type once you make your selection, so be sure to choose the right type.

Account type availability

During the registration process, you may encounter one of these scenarios:

  1. Full choice available: You can select between Individual and Company account types
  2. Limited selection: The account type options may be grayed out with one type pre-selected (commonly defaulting to Individual)

If the account type selection is grayed out, this typically occurs when:

  • The system has determined an appropriate account type based on your Microsoft account profile
  • Your geographic ___location or other factors limit the available options
  • Your Microsoft account is already associated with certain account characteristics

If you need a company account but only see the individual option available (grayed out), consider:

  • Using a different Microsoft account that is clearly associated with your business
  • Contacting Microsoft Support for assistance with account type determination
  • Reviewing the "Learn More" information provided during registration for additional guidance
