 1. **Is it possible to deploy an older image of SQL Server that is not visible in the Azure portal?**
 
    Yes, by using PowerShell. For more information about deploying SQL Server VMs using PowerShell, see [How to provision SQL Server virtual machines with Azure PowerShell](virtual-machines-windows-ps-sql-create.md).

+1. **Is it possible to create a generalized Azure SQL Server Marketplace image of my SQL Server VM and use it to deploy VMs?**
+
+   Yes, but you must then [register each SQL Server VM with the SQL Server VM resource provider](virtual-machines-windows-sql-register-with-resource-provider.md) to manage your SQL Server VM in the portal, as well as utilize features such as automated patching and automatic backups. When registering with the resource provider, you will also need to specify the license type for each SQL Server VM.

-   You can deploy a Windows Server VM (without any SQL Server installed on it) and use the [SQL sysprep](/sql/database-engine/install-windows/install-sql-server-using-sysprep?view=sql-server-ver15) process to generalize SQL Server on Azure VM (Windows) with the SQL Server installation media. Customers who have [software assurance](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/licensing-programs/software-assurance-default?rtc=1&activetab=software-assurance-default-pivot%3aprimaryr3) can obtain their installation media from the [Volume Licensing Center](https://www.microsoft.com/Licensing/servicecenter/default.aspx). Customers who don't have software assurance can use the setup media from a Marketplace SQL Server VM image that has the desired edition.

    Alternatively, use one of the SQL Server images form Azure marketplace to generalize SQL Server on Azure VM. Note that you must delete the following registry key in the source image before creating your own image. Failure to do so can result in the bloating of the SQL Server setup bootstrap folder and/or SQL IaaS extension in failed state.

 1. **Can I change a VM to use my own SQL Server license if it was created from one of the pay-as-you-go gallery images?**
 
-   Yes. You can easily switch a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) gallery image to bring-your-own-license (BYOL) by enabling the [Azure Hybrid Benefit](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/hybrid-benefit/faq/).  For more information, see [How to change the licensing model for a SQL Server VM](virtual-machines-windows-sql-ahb.md). Currently, this facility is available only for Public Cloud customers.

-    Yes. If you deployed SQL Server from your own media, and installed the SQL IaaS extension you can register your SQL Server VM with the resource provider to get the manageability benefits provided by the SQL IaaS extension. However, you are unable to convert a self-deployed SQL Server VM to pay-as-you-go.
