what is the procedure for bring our own SQL server licence to azure VM
Actually I have already purchased an azure VM with sql server pre installed. So if there is any way to add my license to that preinstalled sql server
You can't. Even if you manage to change the license of the SQL Server, you're going to pay full price for it because the license is tied to the VM level, not OS. What you have to do is to create a new VM, install SQL Server (or use one of the BYOL Images from the gallery) with your license and then move the databases.
Thanks for your reply..
Also, Is it possible to install TFS server inside azure vm(purchased only VM) and use my own license key to activate it...
Thank You! I was not aware of it as I never done it before.
In my case, I create vanilla image and then do sql installation n configuration.
