The VM is hosted on prem. The VM is connected to Azure Arc and all requiered extensions are installed.
The subscriprion and all other resources are located in westeurope.
I can't find any documentation about this issue.

    Hi @Unselt, Andreas

    Changing the license model is:

    • Only supported for the Standard and Enterprise editions of SQL Server. License changes for Express, Web, Developer, and Evaluation aren't supported.
    • Only supported for virtual machines deployed through the Azure Resource Manager model. Virtual machines deployed through the classic model aren't supported.

    Please refer to this doc for more details: Change the license model for a SQL virtual machine in Azure.

    Best regards,
