Frequently Asked Questions
What does 'RI VM' stand for in the product title?
'RI VM' typically refers to 'Reserved Instance Virtual Machine' in Microsoft Azure licensing. This often implies a commitment for a specific duration, like the 1-year term indicated, which can offer cost savings compared to pay-as-you-go pricing.
What is the difference between this license and a pay-as-you-go Azure VM?
This is a 1-year subscription license, likely part of a Reserved Instance commitment, which provides a fixed capacity and often a discounted rate for the specified VM series over the term. Pay-as-you-go is billed hourly based on actual usage without a long-term commitment.
Can this license be used for any Azure VM?
No, this license is specifically for the STANDARD_D32_V3 virtual machine series deployed in the US North Central Azure region. It does not cover other VM series or regions.
