Since licensing information is logged in the Azure diagnostic storage account named diag, it is important to create, set, and keep the lock level to CanNotDelete on this diagnostic storage account to prevent diagnostic logs from being deleted. A CanNotDelete lock level means users can read and modify a resource but cannot delete the resource. If your role is not Owner or User Access Administrator, see your company's cloud administrator to create a lock.
