Can we change the license publisher from ntegralinc to canonical in azure VM

Question

I have accidently created the VM with the Linux (Ubuntu 20.04) OS with the Publisher ntegralinc due to whcich i have encountered the License cost. Is it possible to change the publisher to Linux (Ubuntu 20.04 canonical.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the publisher of an existing virtual machine (VM) in Azure. The publisher setting is associated with the image used to create the VM, and once the VM is created, the publisher cannot be changed.

In this case, the only option would be to create a new virtual machine with a Canonical-provided image and transfer your data to the new VM. You can then delete the original VM created with the ntegralinc image.

Let me know if you need any assistance doing this or if you have further questions.
