> To maximize the value of Azure Arc for SQL Server customers, Microsoft uses an automated process of determining the license type value if you haven't set the default value using the `ArcSQLServerExtensionDeployment` tag. If your SQL Server is covered by Software Assurance (SA) or Subscription and Support, and the number of licenses you have purchased is greater than the number of licenses you already committed to Azure to use Azure Hybrid Benefit, this process sets the license type value to **Paid** for the onboarded SQL Server instances on a first-come-first-serve basis. As a result, you automatically have access to valuable management features provided to SA customers.
