EligibleThe number of resources that are not BYOL-configured, but eligible for conversion.
Not applicableThe number of resources that are not eligible for BYOL.
BYOL resource coverageThe percentage of BYOL-entitled resources that use a BYOL licensing model.

Resource table

ColumnDescription
Resource nameThe user-created name of the resource.
Resource IDThe unique identifier assigned to the resource by the cloud provider.
Resource typeThe type of resource. Only SQL Server resources are shown in the table. These resources include:
  • SQL Server on Azure VM (SqlVirtualMachine)
  • Azure SQL Managed Instance (SqlManagedInstance)
  • Azure SQL Database (SqlDatabase)
  • Azure Elastic Pool (SqlElasticPool)
vCPUThe number of vCPUs assigned to the resource. This column will be blank for resources with a License status of Not Applicable, or when the vCPU count cannot be calculated.
For instances with constrained vCPU, this column reflects only the number of active vCPUs. This is because, unlike Windows Server licensing, SQL Server licenses are only required for active vCPUs. For more information on constrained vCPU, see Constrained vCPU sizes for database workloads .
Licenses requiredThe number of SQL Server licenses required for the resource to qualify for Azure Hybrid Benefit. SQL Server Enterprise and Standard core licenses with Software Assurance qualify, as do SQL Server core license subscriptions. One SQL Server Enterprise license has the same coverage as four Standard licenses.
The number of licenses required differs depending on the type of resource. For more information, see How licenses apply to Azure resources .
Purchase modelThe pricing model used to purchase the SQL Server license.
For information on the differences between a vCore-based purchasing model and a DTU-based purchasing model, see Purchasing models - Azure SQL Database .
Compute tierThe compute tier the resource is assigned to.
A compute tier is a pre-configured bundle of compute resources provisioned for different user needs.
Service tierThe service tier the resource is assigned to.
A service tier is a model of pre-configured performance and security capabilities provisioned for different user needs.
Subscription IDThe unique identifier for the cloud subscription that contains the resource.
Subscription nameThe name of the subscription account that contains the resource.
