How Does Aka.ms Make Money? {💸}

We can't see how the site brings in money.

Earning money isn't the goal of every website; some are designed to offer support or promote social causes. People have different reasons for creating websites. This might be one such reason. Aka.ms could have a money-making trick up its sleeve, but it's undetectable for now.

 name:What are the default license terms if a package doesn't provide specific license information?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:Each package is governed by the terms that are included with the package. You should review the applicable terms before accessing, downloading, or acquiring any packages. On NuGet.org, use the License Info link on the package page. If a package does not specify the licensing terms, contact the package owner directly using the Contact owners link on the NuGet.org package page. Microsoft does not license any intellectual property to you from third party package providers and is not responsible for information provided by third parties.
 type:Question
 name:Can I edit package metadata after it's been uploaded?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:NuGet recommends all packages to be signed. A design principle of package signing is that signed package content must be immutable, which includes the nuspec. Editing the package metadata results in changes to the nuspec, invalidating existing signatures. We recommend modifying existing workflows to not require editing the package metadata after the package has been created. Note that dependencies listed for your package are generated automatically from the package itself and cannot be edited.

 type:Question
 name:Is it possible to reserve names for packages that will be published in future?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:Yes. You can reserve IDs for packages on <a href="https://www.nuget.org/">NuGet.org</a> by requesting a package ID prefix for your account. In order to request a package ID prefix, follow the instructions in the <a href="id-prefix-reservation">documentation</a>.

We have crafted a <a href="policies/dispute-resolution">dispute resolution process</a> to follow before asking NuGet.org administrators to intercede.
 type:Question
 name:Is it recommended to upload my test packages to NuGet.org?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:For test purposes, you can use <a href="https://int.nugettest.org">int.nugettest.org</a>, or alternative public NuGet servers like <a href="https://myget.org">myget.org</a> or <a href="https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/visualstudioalm/2015/08/27/announcing-package-management-support-for-vsotfs/">Azure DevOps</a>. Note that packages uploaded to int.nugettest.org may not be preserved.
 type:Question
 name:What is the maximum size of packages I can upload to NuGet.org?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:NuGet.org allows packages up to 250MB, but we recommend keeping packages under 1MB if possible and using dependencies to link packages together. As a rule of thumb, packages contain only one assembly to avoid collisions. NuGet uses HTTP to download packages, so larger packages have a higher likelihood of failed installs than smaller ones. It is possible to share dependencies between multiple packages, making the total download size for consumers of your NuGet packages smaller. Dependencies are mostly static and never change. When fixing a bug in code, the dependencies may not need to be updated. If you bundle dependencies, you end up reshipping larger packages every time. By splitting NuGet packages into related dependencies, upgrades are much more fine-grained for consumers of your package.
 type:Question
 name:What SSL/TLS version and cipher suites does NuGet.org support?

 type:Question
 name:What does the error above mean?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:When an account is created on NuGet.org, there is a communication email address associated with that account. This is usually same as the email address that is used for associated Microsoft account. However, you could choose to specify a different email address for communication. So, technically, you could have a different Microsoft account, say with <code>[email protected]</code> that is linked to NuGet.org account with communication email address as <code>[email protected]</code>. So the error above means that there already exists NuGet.org account with communication email address <code>[email protected]</code> but is associated with another Microsoft account with email that is not <code>[email protected]</code>.

 name:NuGet.org login issues for AAD accounts with unmanaged tenant?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:If you see an error like below during your login flow with your email account domain(@yourdomain.com), see the steps below to recover your NuGet.org account. <img src="media/unmanaged-aad-tenant.png" alt="Error during login for AAD accounts" />
 type:Question
 name:What is this unmanaged state thing during login? And why is this happening now?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:Your account seems to be previously registered as a personal Microsoft account and it worked fine, however, now it seems like your account has been registered as an "Unmanaged" tenant in the Azure Active Directory (the identity service which we use to authenticate Microsoft accounts). This could have happened if you or someone from your organization(with @yourdomain.com email address) registered with one of the AAD integrated services or did a <a href="/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-self-service-signup">self-service signup for Azure Active Directory</a>, which creates such an "Unmanaged" tenant for the used Microsoft account domain(@yourdomain.com in your case).
 type:Question
 name:What can I do to recover my account?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:At this moment there is not a way for us (NuGet.org) to authenticate accounts with such "Unmanaged" tenant accounts in Azure Active directory. We are looking in to a better way to authenticate such accounts. If you want to login to NuGet.org with your Microsoft account(@yourdomain.com), you(or an administrator at your company) will need to claim the ownership of the AAD by doing a DNS validation to authenticate users with email address "@yourdomain.com". Please follow the steps for <a href="/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/domains-admin-takeover">domains admin takeover</a> documented by the Azure Active directory. Once this is done, your normal login should start working.

 name:What is the maximum size of packages I can upload to NuGet.org?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:NuGet.org allows packages up to 250MB, but we recommend keeping packages under 1MB if possible and using dependencies to link packages together. As a rule of thumb, packages contain only one assembly to avoid collisions. NuGet uses HTTP to download packages, so larger packages have a higher likelihood of failed installs than smaller ones. It is possible to share dependencies between multiple packages, making the total download size for consumers of your NuGet packages smaller. Dependencies are mostly static and never change. When fixing a bug in code, the dependencies may not need to be updated. If you bundle dependencies, you end up reshipping larger packages every time. By splitting NuGet packages into related dependencies, upgrades are much more fine-grained for consumers of your package.

 text:Your account seems to be previously registered as a personal Microsoft account and it worked fine, however, now it seems like your account has been registered as an "Unmanaged" tenant in the Azure Active Directory (the identity service which we use to authenticate Microsoft accounts). This could have happened if you or someone from your organization(with @yourdomain.com email address) registered with one of the AAD integrated services or did a <a href="/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-self-service-signup">self-service signup for Azure Active Directory</a>, which creates such an "Unmanaged" tenant for the used Microsoft account domain(@yourdomain.com in your case).

 text:At this moment there is not a way for us (NuGet.org) to authenticate accounts with such "Unmanaged" tenant accounts in Azure Active directory. We are looking in to a better way to authenticate such accounts. If you want to login to NuGet.org with your Microsoft account(@yourdomain.com), you(or an administrator at your company) will need to claim the ownership of the AAD by doing a DNS validation to authenticate users with email address "@yourdomain.com". Please follow the steps for <a href="/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/domains-admin-takeover">domains admin takeover</a> documented by the Azure Active directory.

 name:What happens to my NuGet.org account when my Microsoft account gets deleted?
 acceptedAnswer:
 type:Answer
 text:When the Microsoft or Azure Active Directory account you use to sign in to your nuget.org account is deleted, your nuget.org account will be deleted as well. The account delete action is completed by the nuget.org customer support within 30 days from the date of the Microsoft account deletion. If you have packages associated with your account, we will notify you 3 business days before proceeding with deletion and offer assistance to transfer the packages to a different nuget.org account.
Answer:
 text:Each package is governed by the terms that are included with the package. You should review the applicable terms before accessing, downloading, or acquiring any packages. On NuGet.org, use the License Info link on the package page. If a package does not specify the licensing terms, contact the package owner directly using the Contact owners link on the NuGet.org package page. Microsoft does not license any intellectual property to you from third party package providers and is not responsible for information provided by third parties.
 text:NuGet recommends all packages to be signed. A design principle of package signing is that signed package content must be immutable, which includes the nuspec. Editing the package metadata results in changes to the nuspec, invalidating existing signatures. We recommend modifying existing workflows to not require editing the package metadata after the package has been created. Note that dependencies listed for your package are generated automatically from the package itself and cannot be edited. In addition, uploading packages to <a href="https://int.nugettest.org">int.nugettest.org</a> is a great way to test and validate your package without making a package available in the public gallery. API Endpoint: <a href="https://apiint.nugettest.org/v3/index.json">https://apiint.nugettest.org/v3/index.json</a>

 text:Yes. You can reserve IDs for packages on <a href="https://www.nuget.org/">NuGet.org</a> by requesting a package ID prefix for your account. In order to request a package ID prefix, follow the instructions in the <a href="id-prefix-reservation">documentation</a>.

 text:If you tried changing your Microsoft login and saw the error below: <blockquote> Failed to update the Microsoft account with 'account2 <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>'. This could happen if it is already linked to another NuGet account. Contact support for more information. </blockquote> Lets say you were trying to change Microsoft account login from <code>[email protected]</code> for NuGet.org user with username <code>MyNuGetAccount1</code> to another Microsoft account with email <code>[email protected]</code>. And you see the error above. **What does the error above mean? It means that there is another NuGet.org account which is associated with the Microsoft account that you are trying to change it to i.e. in above example the Microsoft account with email <code><[email protected]></code> is associated with another NuGet.org account with, say, username <code>MyNuGetAccount2</code>. You cannot change the associated login with a Microsoft account that is linked to a different NuGet.org account.
 text:Login with the second Microsoft account on the <a href="https://www.nuget.org/users/account/LogOn?returnUrl=%2F#" title="login page">login page</a>. This will log you into the NuGet.org account that is currently associated with the second Microsoft account. You can then view the uploaded packages and perform account management on this account.
 text:If you wish to not care about the second NuGet.org account and still want to re-use the associated Microsoft account with email <code>[email protected]</code>. You can release the association between the Microsoft account and NuGet.org account by deleting the NuGet.org account. <ol> <li>Follow the steps to <a href="#how-to-delete-my-nuget-org-account">delete user</a> for the second NuGet.org account <code>MyNuGetAccount2</code>.</li> <li>Once this account is deleted, you can retry the steps to <a href="#how-to-change-the-microsoft-account-i-use-for-nuget-org-login">change Microsoft account login</a>.</li> </ol>
 text:You will need to create/use a third Microsoft account, say, with email <code>[email protected]</code>. <ol> <li>First you should login with your second Microsoft account, <code>[email protected]</code> on NuGet.org. Follow the steps above to change associated logins and associate the third Microsoft account with this NuGet.org account.</li> <li>Once done, your second Microsoft account with email <code>[email protected]</code> is free to be associated to your first NuGet.org account, <code>MyNuGetAccount1</code>. Follow the same steps above to change microsoft logins to the second Microsoft account.</li> </ol>
 text:If you tried to sign in with your Microsoft account, say, with email <code>[email protected]</code> and you see an error like below: <blockquote> The account with email '[email protected]' is linked with another microsoft account. If you would like to update the linked Microsoft account you can do so from the account settings page. </blockquote>
 text:When an account is created on NuGet.org, there is a communication email address associated with that account. This is usually same as the email address that is used for associated Microsoft account. However, you could choose to specify a different email address for communication. So, technically, you could have a different Microsoft account, say with <code>[email protected]</code> that is linked to NuGet.org account with communication email address as <code>[email protected]</code>. So the error above means that there already exists NuGet.org account with communication email address <code>[email protected]</code> but is associated with another Microsoft account with email that is not <code>[email protected]</code>.
 text:You should use the <a href="#which-microsoft-account-is-linked-to-my-nuget-org-account">sign in assistance</a> flow to figure out which Microsoft account is linked to the NuGet.org account with the email address <code>[email protected]</code>.
 text:If you tried using the <a href="#which-microsoft-account-is-linked-to-my-nuget-org-account">sign in assistance</a> and you do not have access to the Microsoft account that is associated with your NuGet.org account, please contact your Microsoft account support: <ul> <li>Microsoft Account (MSA): <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/get-help-with-your-microsoft-account-ace6f3b3-e2d3-aeb1-6b96-d2e9e7e52133">Get help with your Microsoft account</a></li> <li>Work or school account (AAD): <a href="https://support.microsoft.com/account-billing/work-or-school-account-help-718b3d92-a8a7-4656-8a05-c0228d346b7d">Work or school account help</a> or contact your admin tenant.</li> </ul>

 text:Your account seems to be previously registered as a personal Microsoft account and it worked fine, however, now it seems like your account has been registered as an "Unmanaged" tenant in the Azure Active Directory (the identity service which we use to authenticate Microsoft accounts). This could have happened if you or someone from your organization(with @yourdomain.com email address) registered with one of the AAD integrated services or did a <a href="/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/directory-self-service-signup">self-service signup for Azure Active Directory</a>, which creates such an "Unmanaged" tenant for the used Microsoft account domain(@yourdomain.com in your case).
 text:At this moment there is not a way for us (NuGet.org) to authenticate accounts with such "Unmanaged" tenant accounts in Azure Active directory. We are looking in to a better way to authenticate such accounts. If you want to login to NuGet.org with your Microsoft account(@yourdomain.com), you(or an administrator at your company) will need to claim the ownership of the AAD by doing a DNS validation to authenticate users with email address "@yourdomain.com". Please follow the steps for <a href="/azure/active-directory/users-groups-roles/domains-admin-takeover">domains admin takeover</a> documented by the Azure Active directory. Once this is done, your normal login should start working.
 text:You can request a username change by sending an email to <a href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a> from the email address that is attached to the account you want to update. Be sure to include the old username and the new username you would like to change to. We will then review your request and, upon approval, get confirmation from you that we are about to take the correct action and that you understand the consequences. Once you have confirmed, we will change your username. <div class="IMPORTANT"> Important <ul> <li>The old username will still be reserved. You will not be able to reuse the old username again and this includes the change of casings.</li> <li>As a consequence of the above, we will not be able to revert this change either.</li> <li>Any links to your old username profile page (e.g. <code>https://www.nuget.org/profiles/OldUsername</code>) will not be redirected to your new profile.</li> <li>Package versions currently owned by your account will still contain the old username in the repository signature. New package versions will contain the new username.</li> <li>Any author-provided metadata in the existing package versions referring to the old username or other identifying information will not be changed.</li> <li>NuGet client policies asserting trust of your old username will not implicitly trust packages published by your new username.

 text:To delete your account, please note that we recommend that you transfer the ownership of any packages where you are the sole owner.

 text:When the Microsoft or Azure Active Directory account you use to sign in to your nuget.org account is deleted, your nuget.org account will be deleted as well. The account delete action is completed by the nuget.org customer support within 30 days from the date of the Microsoft account deletion.
