- In the Azure Portal, check the boxes for Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server and Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server either during provisioning or for an existing virtual machine.
For self-installation:
- Use the resource provider to activate Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server. Then apply Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server using the PowerShell instructions.
You can activate the benefit in the Azure portal by affirming that you have sufficient active licences with Software Assurance or qualifying subscription licences.
Yes. However, to protect data and applications during the end-of-support transition, we recommend adding a subscription for extended security updates. Learn more.
Azure Hybrid Benefit helps you get more value from your Windows Server licences and save up to 40 percent* on virtual machines. A set of 8-core licences (Datacentre or Standard edition) entitles you to run an instance up to 8 cores. You may also run instances larger than 8-cores by allocating licences equal to the core-size of the instance (for example, 12-core licences for a 12-core instance). Datacentre edition licences also allow for simultaneous usage on-premises and in Azure. Standard edition licences must be used either on-premises or in Azure—you'll get 180 days of concurrent use rights while migrating servers.
*Actual savings may vary based on region, instance type, or usage.
(Each two-core processor license is equivalent to 16-core licences.)
The base compute rate is equal to the Linux rate for virtual machines.
Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server in Azure Dedicated Host can be used in three ways:
- Windows Server Standard edition
  A set of 8-core licenses entitles you to run an instance up to 8 cores. You may also run instances larger than 8-cores by allocating licenses equal to the core-size of the instance (for example, 12-core licenses for a 12-core instance). You’ll also get 180 days of concurrent use rights on-prem while migrating servers.
- Windows Server Datacenter edition for virtual machines
  Choose to apply your Azure Hybrid Benefit to individual virtual machines or to the entire host. When using individual virtual machines, a set of 8-core licenses entitles you to run an instance up to 8 cores. You may also run instances larger than 8-cores by allocating licenses equal to the core-size of the instance (for example, 12-core licenses for a 12-core instance). When using individual virtual machines, Datacenter licenses allow for simultaneous use on-premises and in Azure.
- Windows Server Datacenter edition for a physical host
  When you license all available cores at the host level, Datacenter licenses provide unlimited virtualization rights on that host. When using the Azure Hybrid Benefit at the host level with unlimited virtualization, you’ll get 180 days of concurrent use rights on-prem while migrating servers.
Learn more about Azure Dedicated Host.
(For customers with processor licenses, each two-core processor license is equivalent to 16-core licenses.)
Yes. The retroactive tagging feature enables you to convert existing virtual machines to apply Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server. Learn more.
Azure Hybrid Benefit for Linux is also applicable to existing virtual machines running on Azure.
Azure Hybrid Benefit allows you to use SQL Server licences with Software Assurance or qualifying subscription licences to pay a reduced base rate* for these products and services for SQL Server on Azure:
- vCPU-based service tiers of Azure SQL Database (excluding server-less).
- Azure SQL Managed Instance.

For a hosted solution with maximum savings, combine Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server with Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows Server.
Visit the Product Terms site for more details.
The virtualisation benefit available with Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server applies to highly virtualised workloads on-premises. The benefit is only available for Azure SQL Database (General Purpose and Hyperscale service tiers, excluding serverless), Azure SQL Managed Instance (General Purpose service tier), SQL Server Standard Virtual Machines, Azure Data Factory and SQL Server Integration Services (Standard). With it, you can convert one core of SQL Server Enterprise edition with active Software Assurance to receive up to four vCores or four vCPUs. For example, if you have four core licences of SQL Server Enterprise edition, you can receive up to 16 vCores of SQL Database General Purpose at the reduced base rate. This makes moving virtualised applications highly cost-effective.
No. Your licences must be used either on-premises or in the cloud, but you'll have 180 days of concurrent use rights while migrating servers.
No. Azure Hybrid Benefit can't be applied retroactively.
To use Azure Hybrid Benefit for Windows and SQL Server, your Software Assurance or subscriptions must be active. If you choose not to renew your Software Assurance when it expires, you'll need to remove your Azure Hybrid Benefit selections from your resources in the Azure portal.
Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server gives you more value from your SQL Server licences and savings of up to 55 percent* on SQL Server Integration Services. You can apply the benefit to SQL Server Enterprise Edition and SQL Server Standard Edition core licences covered by active Software Assurance or qualifying subscriptions, and use your SQL Server licences to run SQL Server Integration Services packages on Azure at a lower base rate.
*Actual savings may vary based on region, instance type, or usage.
If you're eligible for Azure Hybrid Benefit, you can apply it to Azure Dedicated Host under the same terms and conditions as individual virtual machines. Additionally, if you have Software Assurance with SQL Server Enterprise Edition and licence Azure Dedicated Host at the host level, you'll get unlimited virtualisation rights. If you're migrating existing workloads to Azure Dedicated Host, you'll have 180 days of concurrent use of your licences on-premises and in Azure during migration. Learn more about Azure Dedicated Host.
The Azure Hybrid Benefit applies to Linux subscription, allowing customers running Red Hat Enterprise Linux or SUSE Linux Enterprise Server licences.
No, you can't. Trying to enter a licence type that incorrectly matches the distribution running on your virtual machine will not update any billing metadata. But if you accidentally enter the wrong licence type, updating your virtual machine again to the correct licence type will still enable Azure Hybrid Benefit.
- Drop the software cost entirely and pay only for your VM compute costs.
- Save time with seamless post-deployment conversions—there's no need for production redeployment.
- Lower on-going operational costs with automatic image maintenance, updates, and patches.
- Added convenience of unified user interface integration between the Azure Portal and CLI, as well as scalable batch conversions.

Azure Hybrid Benefit for AKS allows customers with Windows Server Software Assurance or a Cloud Solution Provider subscription to useAKSon Windows Server and Azure Stack HCI in their own datacentres or edge infrastructure at no additional cost.
Customers can activate Azure Hybrid Benefit for AKS through the Azure Command Line Interface (CLI) starting Dec. 1, 2022. Software Assurance must be active to use this benefit. If a customer chooses not to renew your Software Assurance when it expires, customers will need to remove their benefits from their resources in the Azure portal. Learn more in the documentation.
Azure Hybrid Benefit for Azure Stack HCI allows Windows Server Datacentre Software Assurance customers to use Azure Stack HCI at no additional cost. Specifically, these customers get the host fee and optional Windows Server subscription fee waived. Learn more about Azure Stack HCI pricing.
Customers can activate Azure Hybrid Benefit for Azure Stack HCI directly from the Azure portal. Software Assurance must be active to use this benefit. If a customer chooses not to renew your Software Assurance when it expires, customers will need to remove their benefits from their resources in the Azure portal. Learn more in the documentation.
Centrally Managed Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server enables you to optimise costs by applying blocks of eligible licences across all Azure SQL VMs and PaaS resources within your overall account or subscriptions.
The new scope-level Azure Hybrid Benefit experience is available automatically to the following agreements:
Enterprise agreements, including:
- Microsoft Azure Enterprise - MS-AZR-0017P
- Azure Government Enterprise - MS-AZR-USGOV-0017P
Microsoft Customer Agreement - Microsoft Azure Plan - MS-AZR-0017G
The centralised Azure Hybrid Benefit management experience is part of Cost Management + Billing. It automatically applies qualifying SQL Server licences under Azure Hybrid Benefit to the following Azure resources. The total number of normalised core licences (NCL) created by SQL license assignment for a specific scope is applied. For more information about NCL, see How Azure applies assigned SQL licences to hourly usage.
- SQL databases
- SQL elastic pools
- SQL managed instances
- SQL virtual machines
Note: The new centralised Azure Hybrid Benefit management experience currently doesn't support the following Azure services. For these services, you still need to use the resource-level Azure Hybrid Benefit option.
- Azure Data Factory – SQL Server Integration Services (SSIS)
- Azure Dedicated Host
You must consent to SQL IaaS extension registration first. This tool effectively manages the customer’s environment as Azure will have visibility of their SQL Server environment.
The new approach of centrally managing Azure Hybrid Benefit at a scope-level supports SQL Server in Azure Virtual machines. However, it’s essential that you have enabled automatic registration of the self-installed SQL server images with the IaaS extension before you assign SQL licences. The new experience includes a feature that informs you about current usage of Azure Hybrid Benefit and the usage of SQL licences that aren’t discounted. Assigning the number of SQL Server licences at the level of the current usage will ensure that you won’t experience unexpected pay-as-you-go charges. Because the unregistered SQL VMs aren’t recognised as SQL resources, registering them with the IaaS extension after you begin assigning licences at a scope-level could lead to the license assignments being insufficient to cover the newly recognised SQL VMs. In that case, those new SQL VMs from registration may incur unexpected pay-as-you-go charges.
For more information about how to enable automatic IaaS registration, see Register SQL VMs in Azure with the SQL IaaS Agent extension.
To get more information about the total number of unregistered SQL Server VMs in each subscription, you can use the SQL license usage PowerShell script.
No. Currently only SQL licence management is available.
