Unable to load the service index for source error for a private Azure DevOps NuGet feed

I'm having an issue getting access to our private NuGet packages hosted on Azure DevOps for a new developer:

error : Unable to load the service index for source https://pkgs.dev.azure.com/company/_packaging/CompanyPackages/nuget/v3/index.json

I have generated a PAT from DevOps and modified the NuGet.config file. We have been using private NuGet feeds from DevOps for a year or two and I noticed Microsoft recently changed their billing model for Azure Artifacts so I'm wondering if this is part of the issue.

enter image description here

Do I need to opt in the new storage model for this new developer to be able to access the private NuGet feed or is there a way to attach a "Package Management" license to this new user?

This doesn't sound license-related. We've removed all license checks in Artifacts (so, no need to assign one to your new developer) and you're under the free tier limit of 2 GB (so, anyone in your organization with permissions to a feed should be able to access it).

Since it's a brand-new PAT, it shouldn't be expired (my first thought). But, some other things to try:

  • Check that the user for whom you generated a PAT has permissions to the feed they want to use
  • Ensure that the PAT you generated is either all-scopes or includes either the Package (Read) or Package (Read, Write) scopes
