Disable Amazon EC2 High Availability for SQL Server
You can disable Amazon EC2 High Availability for SQL Server (SQL HA). Note only instances enabled by SQL HA can receive
the SQL Server license savings. Use one of the following methods to disable SQL HA for your
instances:
- Console
-
Open the Amazon EC2 console at
https://console.amazonaws.cn/ec2/.
-
In the navigation panel, choose Instances.
-
Select the instances in the High Availability deployment to enable SQL HA standby
detection monitoring, choose Actions, Instance
settings, Modify SQL High Availability settings.
-
In the Review prerequisites step, choose
Next. The prerequisites only apply for enabling the
monitoring, and it is not necessary to review them for disabling SQL HA
standby detection monitoring.
-
In the Manage SQL High Availability license savings step, for each
instance to disable, for SQL High Availability license savings, select
None.
-
Choose Next.
-
In the Review and apply changes step, review the
configuration and then choose Apply changes.
- Amazon CLI

Use the
disable-instance-sql-ha-standby-detections command. For
