For information about the different\ntypes of licenses, see [About licenses](/compute/docs/licenses/about).\n\nMitigate incorrect license imports or migrations\n------------------------------------------------\n\nIf you tried to import or migrate a VM into Compute Engine with a BYOL or BYOS\nlicense, but the VM's [license string](/compute/docs/images/os-details#license-strings)\nis not appended with `byol` or `byos`, then your license was not successfully\nimported or migrated with the VM.\n\nTo resolve this issue, do one of the following depending on how you imported or\nmigrated the VM:\n\n- If you imported the VM using the\n [`gcloud compute instances import` command](/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/instances/import)\n or the Cloud Build API, import the VM again, and specify the\n [`--os` flag](/sdk/gcloud/reference/compute/instances/import#--os) with the\n `byol` version of the OS.\n\n- If you imported the VM using the\n [`gcloud beta compute machine-images import` command](/sdk/gcloud/reference/beta/compute/machine-images/import),\n import the VM again, and specify the\n [`--byol` flag](/sdk/gcloud/reference/beta/compute/machine-images/import#--byol).\n\n- If you imported the VM using the\n [`gcloud beta compute images import` command](/sdk/gcloud/reference/beta/compute/images/import),\n import the VM again, and specify the\n [`--byol` flag](/sdk/gcloud/reference/beta/compute/images/import#--byol).\n\n- If you migrated the VM using Migrate to Virtual Machines, contact\n Cloud Customer Care to help you resolve the issue.
