Google Cloud 致力於為 Microsoft 工作負載提供企業級體驗，滿足貴機構的需求。本頁面說明與 Microsoft 授權和最佳做法相關的最常見概念和問題。
Microsoft 授權類型
Microsoft 授權通常分為兩類： Google Cloud
Google Cloud的隨選授權
自備授權 (BYOL)
Google Cloud的隨選授權
採用以量計價的授權模式，您可直接透過Google Cloud支付 Microsoft 授權費用，且只需為使用的資源支付授權費用。這樣一來，您就不必與 Microsoft 分別管理授權協議和帳單，可簡化部署作業。
預先建構和自訂映像檔的隨選授權
您可以直接透過Google Cloud 控制台提供的預先建構映像檔，取得隨選授權。 Google Cloud 您也可以在匯入自訂圖片時，將隨選授權附加至圖片。 Google Cloud 提供下列 Microsoft 產品的隨選授權：
Windows Server
SQL Server
隨選授權的潛在優點如下：
簡化帳單和法規遵循程序：Google 會處理授權事宜，您只需支付每小時費用，其中包含基本運算費用和 Microsoft 授權。
無須預先投資：您不必預先購買授權，因此非常適合短期專案、測試或擴大規模的需求。
自動更新：Google 會處理軟體更新和修補程式，可能減輕管理負擔。
快速上手：如果您沒有現有的 Microsoft 授權，可以透過隨選授權 Google Cloud 快速開始使用 Microsoft 產品，不必簽訂額外的授權協議。
自備授權 (BYOL)
如果您在內部部署資料中心使用現有的 Microsoft 授權，可能符合資格，可將這些授權用於 Google Cloud。在 Google Cloud的資源上使用現有授權時，系統只會針對該資源使用的 Compute Engine 基礎架構收費。舉例來說，如果虛擬機器 (VM) 執行您自己的 BYOL 適用 Windows Server 授權，只會產生基礎架構費用，不會額外收取 Windows Server 授權費用。
使用自有授權的潛在優點如下：
節省成本：如果您有現成授權，且軟體保證有效，相較於 Google 的隨選授權，您可能會節省成本，尤其是長期穩定的工作負載。不過，如果授權需要使用單一用戶群節點的專屬硬體，您可能需要將這筆額外費用納入 Google Cloud 部署作業。
混合雲彈性：在某些情況下，自備授權可讓您彈性地在多雲端或混合雲情境中部署及管理 Microsoft 工作負載。
每種授權情況都不盡相同
本頁面嘗試概略說明如何在 Google Cloud上使用自己的 Microsoft 授權，但許多情況可能因您的用途和與 Microsoft 簽訂的授權協議而異。
您有責任確保授權使用方式符合與 Microsoft 簽訂的協議，而潛在優勢取決於您的特定條款和工作負載。
如要深入評估您的授權或軟體權利，請洽詢您的法務團隊或授權廠商，或是參閱 SoftwareOne 為 Google Cloud 準備的 Microsoft 授權指南(PDF 下載)。Google Cloud
軟體保證是 Microsoft 的加購方案，您可以透過大量授權協議，連同 Microsoft 核心軟體授權一併購買。這項服務可視為 Microsoft 授權的進階升級套裝組合，除了授權本身，還提供一系列福利。
授權行動性是軟體保證隨附的福利之一。這項功能可協助您將 Microsoft 應用程式伺服器轉換為 Google Cloud 使用透過 Microsoft 大量授權合約取得的永久或期限訂閱授權。
符合授權轉移資格的產品
並非所有 Microsoft 產品都符合 BYOL 資格，可搭配授權移動性使用。
SQL Server 和 Sharepoint Server 等應用程式伺服器授權通常符合 BYOL 資格，並提供授權行動性。Windows Server 授權通常不符合使用授權行動性 BYOL 的資格，但可能符合軟體管理權利外包的 BYOL 資格。如要進一步瞭解如何判斷 Windows Server 授權是否符合資格，請參閱 BYOL Windows Server 常見問題。

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)."]]
