+#### Are there dual-use rights with Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server?
+
+You have 180 days of dual use rights of the license to ensure migrations are running seamlessly. After that 180-day period, you can only use the SQL Server license in the cloud in SQL Database. You no longer have dual use rights on-premises and in the cloud.
+
+#### How does Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server differ from license mobility?
+
+We offer license mobility benefits to SQL Server customers with Software Assurance. This allows reassignment of their licenses to a partner's shared servers. You can use this benefit on Azure IaaS and AWS EC2.

+- It provides economic benefits for moving highly virtualized workloads to Azure. SQL Server Enterprise Edition customers can get four cores in Azure in the General Purpose SKU for every core they own on-premises for highly virtualized applications. License mobility doesn't allow any special cost benefits for moving virtualized workloads to the cloud.
+- It provides for a PaaS destination on Azure (SQL Database managed instance) that's highly compatible with SQL Server on-premises.
+

+
+SQL Database customers have the following rights associated with Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server:
+
+|License footprint|What does Azure Hybrid Benefit for SQL Server get you?|
