SQL Server muti-year renewal

Question

I create a SQL Database Instance and a VM Instance both with 1 year contract pricing. Can I renew this pricing or change it to 3 year pricing and reduce the cost? It has been 1 year and would like to benefit from any reserved pricing.

Hi @John Rewcastle ,

it is possible to exchange reserved instances. Please take a look here:
