JanTreur asked a question.
I would like to use my spare Windows server Standard licenses with active SA to license the Azure VM's we have.
Azure VM's are inventoried in SLM, but are always shown as Datacenter installations and the amount of vcpu's is not inventoried correct in SLM. In our case we are using Azure VM's with a different versions of Windows server, but always inventoried as Datacenter or Enterprise.
I can use the Windows Server Standard Core licenses to license these Azure VM's using the Hybrid Use Benefit. So a minimum of 8 cores per azure vm is used, in Azure I simply have to set the AHUB option on, so it is charged as a linux WM (The OS component is not charged).
What is the best way to assign licenses in this situation in Snow license manager, are there any best practices available?
Hi Jan, did you get an answer on this as i am also having the same issue?
Hi NigelL,
Not really solved, but I made some custom fields for servers using AHUB and also noted the amount of core licenses used.
So I have to deduct the amount of cores used in AHUB from my standard server licenses, while the Datacenter license can be used on prem and the same time in Azure.
