The centralized Azure Hybrid Benefit management experience is part of Cost Management + Billing. It automatically applies qualifying SQL Server licenses under Azure Hybrid Benefit to the following Azure resources. The total number of normalized core licenses (NCL) created by SQL license assignment for a specific scope is applied. For more information about NCL, see [How Azure applies assigned SQL licenses to hourly usage](manage-licenses-centrally.md).

Each resource reports its usage once an hour using the appropriate full price or pay-as-you-go meters. Internally in Azure, the Usage Application engine evaluates the available NCLs and applies them for that hour. For a given hour of vCore resource consumption, the pay-as-you-go meters are switched to the corresponding Azure Hybrid Benefit meter with a zero ($0) price if there's enough unutilized NCLs in the selected scope.
