Cannot change Azure SQL Virtual Machines from Express to Developer

I got deployment failed when trying to change a SQL servers License from Express to Developer.

I checked the Server and it had developer license installed on SQL

Looking at the JSON

{
    “status”: “Failed”,
    “error”: {
        “code”: “ResourceDeploymentFailure”,
        “message”: “The resource operation completed with terminal provisioning state ‘Failed’.”,
        “details”: [
            {
                “code”: “MismatchSqlVmSku”,
                “message”: “The SQL sku provided is ‘Developer’ which does not match the sku installed in the virtual machine ‘Express’. Make sure to provide the correct sku type.”
            }
        ]
    }
}
 
Its because there was an old version of SQL express installed , removing this fixed the issue
