Hello, My Microsoft Certified: Azure Administrator Associate got expired and is it possible to extend to renew it. Also, I am planning to schedule AZ-305 exam and as I see the prerequisite for AZ-305 is Azure Administrator Associate(AZ-104), so in this case can you please confirm whether should I retake/renew my AZ-104 or can I go go-ahead and book AZ-305 directly without any issues. Thanks in advance
