Hi folks,

is there a way to enable the Azure benefit license (Software Assurance) via Azure Policy or via Powershell? I only found some cmdlets/Policies for Azure Virtual Machines but not for Azure Arc Machines.

Thanks

    Hello，

    Currently, there is no built‐in PowerShell command or Azure Policy available to activate the Azure benefit license (Software Assurance) on Azure Arc machines like there is for Azure Virtual Machines. This is because the licensing mechanism for Azure Arc machines is handled differently, and the required hooks for automated activation aren’t exposed in Azure Arc at this time.
