Paragon Insights Licensing Overview

Juniper Networks introduced the Juniper Flex Software Subscription Licensing model to provide an efficient way for you to manage licenses for hardware and software features. Paragon Insights uses the Juniper Flex Software Subscription Licensing model. For more information, see the Paragon Insights Licensing topic in the Licensing Guide.

You need a license to activate the Graphical User Interface (GUI). When you log in to the Paragon Automation GUI for the first time, the Dashboard page appears. Navigate to Administration > License Management to add a license. After you successfully add a license for a component (Paragon Insights, Paragon Pathfinder, or Paragon Planner), you can see the related GUI pages. The availability of features in Paragon Insights, Paragon Pathfinder, and Paragon Planner are based on the license you have purchased.

The Paragon Automation icon in the top-left corner of the GUI is updated depending on the license that you add. When you log in to the Paragon Automation GUI for the first time, the Paragon Automation icon appears without the names of the three components below it. The GUI displays the name of a component only after you add a license for that component. For example, after you add a Paragon Insights license, the name Insights appears below the Paragon Automation icon. After you add a license for Paragon Pathfinder, the names Pathfinder and Planner are also displayed.
