For BYOL, you must revoke the Teradata Database licenses or Teradata IntelliSphere licenses before you deallocate or delete a Teradata Database VM, or delete the Azure resource group. If you accidentally delete the resource group before you revoke the licenses, contact Teradata Customer Support.
Since licensing information is logged in the Azure diagnostic storage account named diag, it is important to keep the CanNotDelete resource lock on this diagnostic storage account to prevent diagnostic logs from being deleted.
