I’ve read that you can pay a per hour fee to license SQL Server on a Windows Azure VM, if you want to run a dedicated instance (as opposed to using Azure SQL). However, when I go to create a VM running SQL Server, only the evaluation edition is available in the image gallery. I don’t see any options in the VM creation process to add the additional per hour license for SQL Server. Where does this come in to play?
This is a result of Virtual Machines on Windows Azure being still in preview.
As far as I know – whilst in preview only the evaluation copy of SQL is formally available and at no extra charge. I suspect this will change when IaaS goes GA.
