Review your license situation before you cancel your license assignments. When you cancel a license assignment, you no longer receive discounts for them. Consequently, your Azure bill might increase. If you cancel the last remaining license assignment, Azure Hybrid Benefit management reverts to the individual resource level.

summary: Azure Hybrid Benefit is a licensing benefit that lets you bring your on-premises core-based Windows Server and SQL Server licenses with active Software Assurance (or subscription) to Azure. It allows you to significantly reduce the costs of running your workloads in the cloud. In the Azure portal, you can now centrally manage your Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server by assigning licenses to the scope of an entire Azure subscription or overall billing account.
