 **Steps:**
 
 1. Create a support request to inform us of your intent to convert.
-2. Exchange RI- If you have any active RI with VCF BYOL, exchange them for non-VCF BYOL RI. For instance, you can [exchange your AV36P VCF BYOL RI for an AV36P](/azure/cost-management-billing/reservations/exchange-and-refund-azure-reservations).

 **Scenario 1:**
 "I am converting existing AVS private cloud to VCF BYOL." 
 
-1. Get portable VCF for Azure VMware Solution proof-of-purchase from Broadcom for all cores used in your AVS private cloud in that Azure subscription.
-2. If you currently have Reserved Instance (RI) for the AVS node type, exchange RI for the corresponding VCF BYOL node type. For example, if you have 1 year RI for 10 AV36P nodes, you will need to place an exchange RI order for AV36P VCF BYOL node type. All the [Azure RI exchange rules](/azure/cost-management-billing/reservations/exchange-and-refund-azure-reservations) will apply. **NOTE:** If you register your portable VCF subscription without this step, you will be charged BYOL pay-as-you-go pricing by default for your usage.
