| BYOL benefit | Description |
|-----|-----|
| **Cost savings** | Bringing your own SQL Server license is more cost effective than paying it per usage if a workload runs continuously SQL Server Standard or Enterprise for *more than 10 months*. |
| **Long-term savings** | On average, it is *30% cheaper per year* to buy or renew a SQL Server license for the first 3 years. Furthermore, after 3 years, you don’t need to renew the license anymore, just pay for Software Assurance. At that point, it is *200% cheaper*. |
| **Cost savings** | The [Azure Hybrid Benefit](https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/hybrid-benefit/) offers up to 55% savings. For more information, see [Switch licensing model](virtual-machines-windows-sql-ahb.md |
| **Free passive secondary replica** | Another benefit of bringing your own license is the [free licensing for one passive secondary replica](https://azure.microsoft.com/pricing/licensing-faq/) per SQL Server for high availability purposes. This cuts in half the licensing cost of a highly available SQL Server deployment (for example, using Always On Availability Groups). The rights to run the passive secondary are provided through the Fail-Over Servers Software Assurance benefit. |
