With Datacenter Edition licensing, customers get these lower-cost instances in Azure while maintaining existing on-premises deployments. With Azure Hybrid Benefit, customers can move or add incremental workloads into Azure and pay non-Windows (Linux) pricing. Each incremental set of eight licenses must be allocated to a single virtual machine.

In other words, once a minimum initial allocation of 16 licenses with Software Assurance is made, customers can add virtual cores (up to eight) to an existing or new virtual machine with incremental sets of eight licenses.

Each additional set of eight entitles use on up to eight virtual cores and one Base Instance. Rather than paying the full price for a new Windows Server virtual machine, you will only pay the base compute rate.Įach set of 16 Windows Server core licenses with Software Assurance entitles customers to use Windows Server on Microsoft Azure on up to 16 virtual cores allocated across two or fewer Azure virtual machines. The Azure Hybrid Benefit lets you bring your on-premises Windows Server license with Software Assurance to Azure.
