Server 2022: Removing BYOL, adding import workflows #1813
Conversation
- Removing BYOL workflows as per https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/instances/windows/ms-licensing-faq#license_mobility_faq -- "If the Windows Server version was released before October 1, 2019, you can, subject to the terms of the licensing agreement, use Windows Server licenses acquired before this date on sole-tenant nodes." Since 2022 was release in 2021, it cannot use BYOL. Adding import workflow for Windows Server 2022, to begin testing.

What about exceptions listed in the doc:
"Microsoft makes exceptions for Windows Server licenses that meet the following conditions:
- Acquired under existing enrollments with an effective date before October 1, 2019
- Acquired after October 1, 2019 under Microsoft's Enterprise Agreement True-up (PDF download) ordering process
- Purchased for Windows Server versions released before October 1, 2019"
Are these exceptions only for licenses obtained after Oct 1, 2019, or also for versions of Windows released after that date?

Since 2022 was release in 2021, this version of Windows Server cannot use BYOL.
