I have SQL Server Enterprise 2019 Core licenses with Software Assurance and want to activate Azure Hybrid Benefit on virtual machines on Azure. Does the same Downgrade rights for versions applied in an on-premises environment also apply to Azure?

Tenho licenças do SQL Server Enterprise 2019 Core com Software Assurance e desejo ativar o Azure Hybrid Benefit em máquinas virtuais no Azure. Os mesmos direitos de Downgrade de versões aplicadas em um ambiente local, também se aplica ao Azure?
