Trending FAQs: Azure SQL Renewal
Q: Does this cover Azure SQL Managed Instance (MI)?
A: No, this license is specific to Azure SQL Database (Single/Pooled). Managed Instance uses the "Per Instance" license. Check your renewal quote to ensure the correct SKU.
Q: Can I switch this to an on-prem license?
A: If you migrate your database back to on-premise SQL Server, you will need to convert your license. We can help process this change during renewal.
Q: Is this part of Database Insights?
A: It can be. If you own the "Database Insights" bundle, this functionality is included. If you own standalone SQL Sentry, this is the correct renewal.
Q: What metrics do I lose if I don't renew?
A: You lose access to Top SQL, deadlocks, tempdb usage, and historical performance data collection.
