# Do I need to set up Azure Lighthouse again after a billing transfer?

**Yes**. When your Azure subscription is transferred to SoftwareOne, your existing Azure Lighthouse configuration does not carry over. 

This is because Azure Lighthouse permissions are linked to the partner managing the subscription. When the billing relationship changes, these permissions are removed and must be re‑established. As a result, you must complete a new onboarding process for Azure Lighthouse after the transfer. 

The onboarding is handled directly through the Marketplace. Your purchase order includes an activation link and guided workflow to help you complete the process.

For detailed instructions and Azure role requirements, see [Complete Azure Lighthouse onboarding](/extensions/microsoft-cloud-solution-provider/azure-lighthouse/complete-the-azure-lighthouse-onboarding.md).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.platform.softwareone.com/extensions/microsoft-cloud-solution-provider/additional-resources/faqs/do-i-need-to-set-up-azure-lighthouse-again-after-a-billing-transfer.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
