# 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 by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
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=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

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.
