Resolving the “ResourcePurchaseValidationFailed” Error in Azure
Overview
During resource deployment in Azure, you may encounter the following error message:
This error typically occurs when the Azure subscription has not yet accepted the legal terms associated with a Marketplace image—for example, when deploying a virtual machine (VM) image such as the Zscaler Cloud Connector or any other third-party Marketplace offering.

When you attempt to deploy a resource using an image whose terms have not yet been accepted, Azure blocks the operation for compliance reasons, resulting in the ResourcePurchaseValidationFailed error.

Accepting these terms—using either the Azure CLI, PowerShell, or Portal—resolves the issue and allows the deployment to proceed successfully.
