Hello,

I would like to take advantage of my Windows Server Standard 2019 licences when migrating on Azure however it looks like the only image available are for the Datacenter edition.

What's the recommendation to make the best use of our licences on Azure ?

    Hi @SIMON Ewen ,

    Azure Hybrid Benefit is a cost-savings benefit that lets you bring your existing on-premises Windows Server and SQL Server licenses with active Software Assurance or subscriptions to Azure.

    SQL Server and Windows Server licenses with active Software Assurance or qualifying subscription licenses. These include:

    • Windows Server Datacenter edition with Software Assurance.
    • Windows Server Standard edition with Software Assurance.

    If you don't have Software Assurance, it's available for purchase with new licenses at list prices or with qualifying subscription licenses, for more information see:
