how to configure license for AHB

How to calculate how many licenses required for Azure Hybrid Benefit. below is the configuration for MSSQL db Sql database configuration below:-

General Purpose: Gen5, 2 vCore, 
Business Critical: Gen5, 16 vCores,
Business Critical: Gen5, 4 vCore,

so we need these licenses for these MSSQL db where Azure hybrid license is already enabled:

General Purpose: Gen5, 2 vCore,    1 windows server  license require azure hybrid benefit is already enabled.
Business Critical: Gen5, 16 vCores, 16 windows server  license require azure hybrid benefit is already enabled.
Business Critical: Gen5, 4 vCore,   4 windows server license require azure hybrid benefit is already enabled. 
Business Critical: Gen5, 8 vCores   8 windows server license require azure hybrid benefit is already enable

For Azure database mysql server we have below details configured for these servers how many licenses we need to purchase

General Purpose, 2 vCore(s), 100 GB Gen 5
General Purpose, 4 vCore(s), 512 GB Gen 5
Memory Optimized, 4 vCore(s), 100 GB    Gen 5
General Purpose, 32 vCore(s), 512 GB    Gen 5
General Purpose, 4 vCore(s), 200 GB Gen 5
Memory Optimized, 16 vCore(s), 514 GB   Gen 5
General Purpose, 2 vCore(s), 200 GB Gen 5

Solution

Licenses are purchased based on number of Cores. In the case of General Purpose you are using 2 vCores (GP5) and for Business Critical(BC5) you are using 28 vCores.

This hybrid benefit calculator can help you. If I understand it correctly, you would need to have:

2 Standard SQL licenses to cover a 2 vCore GP5 DB and,
either 28 Enterprise SQL licenses or 112 Standard SQL licenses to cover the 28 vCores of the BC5.

You can also download and checkout the licensing datasheet and licensing guide. See this link for more info.
