Reschedule Microsoft Exam profile error

Unfortunately, I did not pass my MS exam, and I would like to reschedule my MS exam.


Before rescheduling, I attempted to use the same voucher for the second time, but encountered the following error during the scheduling process:
"Discount validation failed."

Exam: AZ-104, ***Removed*** The candidate must be the same as the candidate that failed the previously registered exam.

I believe the issue might be that a few weeks ago, I created an @outlook.com account, which naturally contains the same profile data.

To address this, I deleted my @outlook.com profile on Microsoft Learn this morning, intending to book the MS exam with my @gmail.com account (same as last time).

Unfortunately, I have been unsuccessful, and despite conducting some research, I am unable to make progress.


So I submitted 2 different tickets at 2 different departments of Microsoft, but the MS departments can't help me.


I also contacted the Microsoft department in question that's based in the Netherlands and also contacted Pearson Vue.


I troubleshooted a lot, this issue gets me really mad because it costs me so much time! It doesn't make any sense!

It would be appreciated if Microsoft can help me with this issue, I got stuck.

I always used 1 account '***Removed*** ', why do I get a error message like that?

Hi Ferhat,

Thank you for contacting the Microsoft Community. 

Your determination to succeed in your AZ-104 exam is commendable. I am very much aware of the assistance you need as I know the situation of getting an exam result which was different from what we expected, I understand that you are encountering difficulties when attempting to reschedule using the same voucher. I'm here to provide you with information for you to make the most of this opportunity.

If in case, you utilized a Microsoft Exam Replay Mindhub Voucher to your initially scheduled exam, please note that according to Microsoft Certification Exam Voucher Terms and Conditions. A voucher must be provided when registering for the Microsoft Certification exam and any subsequent retakes. Additionally, as per Microsoft Exam Replay (Offer details) all vouchers are non-transferrable, non-refundable, and cannot be redeemed for cash or credit. Vouchers are not restricted to exam and/or practice test at time of purchase. Upon voucher redemption, the voucher and retake will be available for that selected exam only.

This statement wants to ensure that an email that was initially used in redeeming the first voucher is the only email that needs to be utilized when redeeming the voucher for the second attempt.

To make sure that I have you covered, kindly provide me with the necessary information through the private message for me to proceed in taking care of your concern.


Moreover, one of the possible reasons as to why you are getting an error when you try to utilize the same voucher for the second time is due to the usage of another email address (which is the account where the exam was not taken) that caused a duplicate profile which means a candidate has more than one Microsoft Certification ID (MC ID) in the system, due to factors like
multiple registrations, changes in personal information or entering different information upon exam registration.

Furthermore, if in case you used a Microsoft Exam Replay Mindhub Voucher to your initially scheduled exam to redeem the voucher in second attempt, please make sure to use an email that was utilized when you initially scheduled an exam using the same voucher.

As my goal is to ensure that I will be able to assist you properly, please let me know if additional assistance is needed.

I look forward to your response. Please note that if no response is received after two business days, the case will be closed and locked. After the case is locked, we will no longer be able to respond, even through Private Messages.
