# Azure Pipelines: No hosted parallelism has been purchased or granted

**Code:** `No hosted parallelism` · **Category:** Azure · **Seen on:** Azure

The Azure DevOps organization has no Microsoft-hosted parallel jobs, so pipelines can’t run on hosted agents.

## Meaning

New organizations must request the free grant (form) or buy parallel jobs. Until then, use a self-hosted agent.

## Common causes

- New organization without the free grant
- Private project without paid parallel jobs
- Grant request pending

## Quick fix

1. Request the free grant via aka.ms/azpipelines-parallelism-request
2. Purchase parallel jobs
3. Use a self-hosted agent pool meanwhile

## Detailed fix by platform

### YAML

1. 

```bash
pool:
  name: SelfHosted   # instead of vmImage: ubuntu-latest
```


## How to diagnose

1. **Parallelism** — Organization settings → Parallel jobs
2. **Project** — Public or private?
