The upgrade forbids users from mining on its internet services, namely the Azure cloud platform. The update was announced on December 1, with The Register being the first to spot this information.
An announcement shared with Azure users identified the upgrade as one of several efforts done to “secure the partner ecosystem,” referring to partner businesses that strive to sign up software clients to Azure’s cloud services.
The new universal license conditions under the acceptable use policy state neither customers nor those that access an Online Service through a customer may use an Online Service to mine bitcoin without the company’s prior written consent.
“We suggest seeking written pre-approval from Microsoft before using Microsoft Online Services for mining cryptocurrencies, regardless of the term of a subscription,” the company said.
The move brings Microsoft in line with other digital behemoths such as Google, which restricts unapproved crypto mining on its cloud infrastructure. Amazon Web Services similarly prohibits mining for free users.
