Which change represents a VM-Series NGFW license transfer?

Question

Options

• AVM-100 BYOL on Microsoft Azure to VM-100 BYOL on Amazon Web Services
• BVM-300 BYOL on Microsoft Azure to VM-300 PAY6 on Amazon Web Services
• CVM-100 BYOL on Microsoft Azure to VM-300 BYOL on Microsoft Azure
• DVM-100 BYOL on Microsoft Azure to VM-300 PAYG on Amazon Web Services

• A
  6% (2)
• B
  3% (1)
• C
  74% (26)
• D
  17% (6)

Explanation

Option C is the only valid license transfer because Palo Alto Networks requires that license transfers occur within the same cloud platform using the same licensing model (BYOL to BYOL). Moving from VM-100 BYOL to VM-300 BYOL - both on Azure - satisfies both requirements; the capacity upgrade is permitted.

Why the distractors fail:

• A keeps the same model and license type but crosses cloud platforms (Azure → AWS), which disqualifies it as a transfer.
• B changes both the cloud platform (Azure → AWS) and the license model (BYOL → PAY-G), violating two rules at once.
• D also crosses cloud platforms and switches from BYOL to PAYG - same double disqualification as B.

Memory tip: Think of a license transfer as a "same ZIP code, same contract" rule - the cloud provider is the ZIP code (can't change), BYOL is the contract type (can't change), and the VM size is the apartment number (can change freely).
