Migration to Azure VMware Solution is usually executed over an extended timeframe instead of at a single point-in-time. To give you flexibility around your migration timelines you can continue to use your licenses outside of Azure, for 180 days, from when the licenses are allocated within Azure VMware Solution. This dual use rights benefit applies to SQL Server and Windows Server.

1. Azure VMware Solution must be Arc-enabled: [Deploy Arc-enabled VMware vSphere for Azure VMware Solution](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/azure-vmware/deploy-arc-for-azure-vmware-solution?tabs=windows). You can Arc-enable the virtual machines and get the Azure Extension for SQL Server applied to that VM by following the steps provided in the section titled *Enable guest management and extension installation*.
