Google Cloud 致力于为 Microsoft 工作负载提供企业级体验，以满足您的组织的需求。本页面介绍了与 Microsoft 许可和最佳实践相关的最常见的概念和问题。
Microsoft 许可类型
Google Cloud 上的 Microsoft 许可通常分为两类：
Google Cloud提供的按需许可
自带许可 (BYOL)
Google Cloud提供的按需许可
借助按需许可模式，您可以直接通过Google Cloud支付 Microsoft 许可费用，并且只需支付您所使用的资源的许可费用。这样可以简化部署，因为您无需单独管理与 Microsoft 签订的许可协议和结算信息。
预构建映像和自定义映像的按需许可
按需许可可直接从 Google Cloud 控制台中Google Cloud 提供的预构建映像中获取。您还可以在映像导入过程中向自定义映像附加按需许可。 Google Cloud 为以下 Microsoft 产品提供按需许可：
Windows Server
SQL Server
按需许可的潜在优势如下：
简化了结算和合规性：Google 负责处理许可，您只需按小时支付包含基础计算费用和 Microsoft 许可的费用。
无需前期投资：您无需提前购买许可，因此非常适合短期项目、测试或扩缩需求。
自动更新：Google 负责软件更新和补丁，这可能会减轻管理负担。
快速入门：如果您还没有 Microsoft 许可， Google Cloud 上的按需许可可让您快速开始使用 Microsoft 产品，而无需额外的许可协议。
自带许可 (BYOL)
如果您已有在本地数据中心内使用的 Microsoft 许可，则可能有资格将其与 Google Cloud搭配使用。在 Google Cloud中的资源上使用现有许可时，您只需为该资源所使用的 Compute Engine 基础设施付费。例如，运行您自己的符合 BYOL 条件的 Windows Server 许可的虚拟机 (VM) 只会产生基础设施费用，但无需支付额外的 Windows Server 许可费用。
使用您自己的许可的潜在优势如下：
节省费用：如果您已有享受有效软件保障的许可，则与 Google 按需许可相比，您可以节省费用，尤其是对于长期稳定的工作负载。但是，如果您的许可需要具有单租户节点的专用硬件，则您可能需要考虑将此额外费用用于 Google Cloud 部署。
混合云灵活性：在某些情况下，BYOL 可让您灵活地在多云或混合云场景中部署和管理 Microsoft 工作负载。
每种许可情况都是独特的
虽然本页面旨在简要介绍如何在 Google Cloud上使用您自己的 Microsoft 许可，但您可能会遇到许多特定于您的应用场景和与 Microsoft 签订的许可协议的情况。
您需要负责确保许可的使用符合您与 Microsoft 签订的协议，并且所有潜在优势都取决于您的具体条款和工作负载。
软件保障是 Microsoft 的一项附加计划，您可以通过批量许可协议将软件保障连同核心 Microsoft 软件许可一起购买。您可以将软件保障视为 Microsoft 许可的高级升级套餐，除了许可本身之外，还能提供各种优势。
许可移动性是软件保障具有的优势之一。它可帮助您使用通过 Microsoft 批量许可协议获取的永久或有期限订阅许可，将 Microsoft 应用服务器转移到 Google Cloud 。
符合许可移动性条件的产品
并非所有 Microsoft 产品都符合使用许可移动性的 BYOL 的条件。应用服务器许可（例如 SQL Server 和 Sharepoint Server）通常符合使用许可移动性的 BYOL 的条件。Windows Server 许可通常不符合使用许可移动性的 BYOL 的条件，但可能符合使用外包软件管理权利的 BYOL 的条件。如需详细了解如何确定您的 Windows Server 许可是否符合条件，请参阅 BYOL Windows Server 常见问题解答。

This page documents\nthe most common concepts and questions related to Microsoft licensing and best\npractices.\n\n**Types of Microsoft Licensing**\n\nMicrosoft licensing on Google Cloud generally falls into two categories:\n\n- On-demand Licenses from Google Cloud\n- Bring Your Own License (BYOL)\n\nOn-demand Licenses from Google Cloud\n------------------------------------\n\nThe on-demand licensing model lets you pay for Microsoft licenses directly from\nGoogle Cloud, and only pay for the licensing costs on the resources you consume.\nThis simplifies deployment because you don't need to manage separate\nlicensing agreements and billing with Microsoft.\n\n### On-demand licenses for prebuilt and custom images\n\nOn-demand licenses are available directly from prebuilt images provided by\nGoogle Cloud in the Google Cloud console. You can also attach an on-demand license\nto your custom image during the image import process. Google Cloud provides\non-demand licenses for the following Microsoft products:\n\n- Windows Server\n- SQL Server\n\nThe following are the potential advantages of on-demand licenses:\n\n- **Simplified billing and compliance:** Google handles the licensing and you pay an hourly fee that includes both the base compute cost and the Microsoft license.\n- **No upfront investment:** You don't need to purchase licenses in advance, making it ideal for short-term projects, testing, or scaling needs.\n- **Automatic updates:** Google handles software updates and patches, potentially easing administrative burden.\n- **Get started quickly:** If you don't have existing Microsoft licenses, on-demand licenses on Google Cloud offer a quick way to get started with Microsoft products without additional licensing agreements.\n\nBring Your Own License (BYOL)\n-----------------------------\n\nIf you have existing Microsoft licenses being used in your on-premises data\ncenters, you might be eligible to use them with Google Cloud. When using your\nexisting licenses on a resource in Google Cloud, you are only billed for the\nCompute Engine infrastructure that you consume for that resource. For example,\na virtual machine (VM) running your own BYOL-eligible Windows Server license\nwill only accrue infrastructure costs, but no additional Windows Server\nlicensing costs are applied.\n\nThe following are the potential advantages of using your own license:\n\n- **Cost savings:** If you have existing licenses with active software assurance, you might save costs compared to Google's on-demand licensing, especially for long-term, stable workloads. However, if your licenses require dedicated hardware with sole-tenant nodes, you might need to factor in this additional cost to your Google Cloud deployment.\n- **Hybrid-cloud flexibility:** In some scenarios, BYOL can offer flexibility in how you deploy and manage your Microsoft workloads in a multicloud or hybrid cloud scenario.\n\n### Every licensing situation is unique\n\nWhile this page attempts to give an overview of using your own Microsoft\nlicense on Google Cloud, there are many possible situations that are unique\nto your use case and licensing agreements with Microsoft.\n\nYou are responsible for ensuring that use of your licenses is compliant with\nyour agreement with Microsoft, and any potential advantages are dependent upon\nyour specific terms and workload.\n\nFor an in-depth assessment of your licenses or software rights, work with your\nlegal team, license vendor, or consult the [Microsoft Licensing Guide for Google Cloud (PDF download)](https://services.google.com/fh/files/misc/softwareone-msft-guide.pdf) prepared for\nGoogle Cloud by SoftwareOne.\n\nFor any other questions about your licensing situation, you can connect with a\ndedicated licensing expert from SoftwareOne for no additional fee.\n\nCommon options for BYOL Microsoft licenses on Google Cloud\n----------------------------------------------------------\n\nThere are two common pathways for using your own Microsoft licenses on\nGoogle Cloud:\n\n- [Software Assurance with License Mobility](#software-assurance)\n- [Outsourcing Software Management Rights](#outsourcing-software-management)\n\n### Software Assurance with License Mobility\n\n**Software Assurance** is an add-on program from Microsoft that you can\npurchase alongside core Microsoft software licenses through volume licensing\nagreements. Think of it as a premium upgrade package for your Microsoft\nlicenses, offering a range of benefits beyond the license itself.\n\n**License Mobility** is one of the included benefits of Software Assurance. It\nhelps you transition your Microsoft application servers to Google Cloud using\nperpetual or term subscription licenses acquired through their Microsoft volume\nlicensing agreements.\n\n### Products eligible for License Mobility\n\nNot all Microsoft products are eligible for BYOL with License Mobility.\nApplication server licenses like SQL Server and Sharepoint Server are typically\neligible for BYOL with License Mobility. Windows Server licenses are typically\nnot eligible for BYOL using License Mobility, but might be eligible for BYOL\nby [Outsourcing Software Management Rights](#outsourcing-software-management).\nFor more information on determining the eligibility of your Windows Server\nlicenses, see [BYOL Windows Server FAQs](/compute/docs/instances/windows/ms-licensing-faq#byol-windows-server).\n\nFor the most up to date complete list of products covered by License Mobility,\nsee [Microsoft's Resources for Software Assurance](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/licensing-programs/software-assurance-learn-more).\n\n### Additional information\n\nWith License Mobility, you are responsible for managing true ups and renewals\naccording to your agreements. For the licenses to remain valid, you must\nmaintain Software Assurance coverage with Microsoft.\n\nLicense Mobility is subject to the following restrictions:\n\n- You must be an existing Microsoft Volume Licensing customer with [eligible server applications](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/) that are covered by active Software Assurance contracts with License Mobility.\n- You must maintain appropriate Client Access Licenses (CALs) with Software Assurance in your Volume Licensing agreement.\n- After deploying a license within a [region](/compute/docs/regions-zones), you cannot move that license to another region for 90 days. For more information, see the [Microsoft Product Terms site](https://www.microsoft.com/licensing/terms/).\n\nOutsourcing Software Management Rights\n--------------------------------------\n\nSome Microsoft products are eligible for BYOL without Software Assurance. This\noption can be useful when you want to use your own licenses on Google Cloud for\nproducts that are not covered by License Mobility, such as Windows Server 2019.\n\nCheck your agreement with Microsoft to determine whether your Outsourcing\nSoftware Management Rights provide flexibility on where you can run your\nworkload.\n\nYour Windows Server license might be [eligible](https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/licensing/news/updated-licensing-rights-for-dedicated-cloud) for use on Google Cloud using\n[Outsourcing Software Management Rights](/compute/docs/instances/windows/ms-licensing#outsourcing-software-management) if it meets the following\nconditions, provided that you are not otherwise prevented from outsourcing the\nmanagement of your software:\n\n- **Products released in 2019 or earlier:** The license covers a Microsoft product version released before October 1, 2019. For example, Windows 2019 might be eligible for BYOL with Outsourcing Software Management Rights, but Windows Server 2022 is not eligible.\n- **Acquired or effective before October 1, 2019:** You acquired the Microsoft license under an enrollment effective before October 1, 2019, OR you acquired the Microsoft license after October 1, 2019 under a [Microsoft's Enterprise Agreement True-up (PDF download)](https://www.microsoft.com/download/details.aspx?id=14452), for an enrollment with an effective date before October 1, 2019. This includes both the server licenses and any CALs.\n- **Sole-tenant nodes (dedicated hardware) are required:** You can only use software brought using Outsourcing Software Management Rights with dedicated servers such as [sole-tenant nodes](/compute/docs/nodes/bringing-your-own-licenses). Microsoft doesn't allow the use of Outsourcing Software Management right in a multi-tenant environment, and therefore you cannot use the software with the default tenancy for Compute Engine VMs.\n\nWhat's next\n-----------\n\n- Read the [Microsoft licensing FAQ](/compute/docs/instances/windows/ms-licensing-faq).\n\n- Learn more about [sole-tenant nodes](/compute/docs/nodes).\n\n- Learn more about the [operating system images](/compute/docs/images) that\n Compute Engine provides.\n\n- Estimate the costs of your project by doing the following:\n\n - Using the [Pricing calculator](/products/calculator).\n\n - Viewing the estimated costs of your instances and resources when you\n create them in the [Google Cloud console](https://console.cloud.google.com/).\n\n - Viewing and downloading prices from the pricing table in the\n [Google Cloud console](/billing/docs/how-to/pricing-table).\n\n - Accessing pricing information programmatically by using the\n [Cloud Billing API](/billing/v1/getting-started)."]]
