Migrating servers to Azure that are using KMS for licensing. When I migrate the server to Azure via Azure Migrate , I assume that I will start using the license from MSFT that is baked into the cost of the running in Azure. Question, since this is a basic image migration is there something I need to do to remove the KMS dependency?

    No, don’t need to do additional operations to remove KMS dependency on your servers.
