Example: Adding a New License Key

Requirements

Before you begin, confirm that your Junos OS feature requires you to purchase, install, and manage a separate software license.

Overview

You can add a license key from a file or URL, from a terminal, or from the J-Web user interface. Use the filename option to activate a perpetual license directly on the device. (Most feature licenses are perpetual.) Use the url to send a subscription-based license key entitlement (such as UTM) to the Juniper Networks licensing server for authorization. If authorized, the server downloads the license to the device and activates it.

In this example, the file name is bgp-reflection.

Configuration

CLI Quick Configuration

To quickly add a new license key, copy the following commands, paste them in a text file, remove any line breaks, and then copy and paste the commands into the CLI.

• From a file or URL:
  user@hostname> request system license add bgp-reflection
• From the terminal:
  user@hostname> request system license add terminal

GUI Step-by-Step Procedure

1. In the J-Web user interface, select Maintain>Licenses.
2. Under Installed Licenses, click Add to add a new license key.
3. Do one of the following, using a blank line to separate multiple license keys:
   • In the License File URL box, type the full URL to the destination file containing the license key to be added.
   • In the License Key Text box, paste the license key text, in plain-text format, for the license to be added.
4. Click OK to add the license key.

   Note: If you added the SRX100 Memory Upgrade license, the device reboots immediately and comes back up as a high-memory device.

5. Click OK to check your configuration and save it as a candidate configuration.
6. If you are done configuring the device, click Commit Options>Commit.

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. From operational mode, add a license key in either way:

   • From a file or URL:
     user@host> request system license add bgp-reflection
   • From the terminal:
     user@host>request system license add terminal
2. When prompted, enter the license key, separating multiple license keys with a blank line. If the license key you enter is invalid, an error is generated when you press Ctrl-D to exit license entry mode.

   Note: If you added the SRX100 Memory Upgrade license, the device reboots immediately and comes back up as a high-memory device.

Results

From operational mode, confirm your configuration by entering the show system license command. If the output does not display the intended configuration, repeat the configuration instructions in this example to correct it.
