Three Easy Steps to Activate Your Juniper Networks License Key

Three Easy Steps to Activate Your Juniper Networks License Key

  1. Gather your Authorization Code and Device serial number. Authorization Code: The Authorization Code is a pass key required to generate and activate the content security subscription license key that you or your company have purchased for your Juniper Networks Firewall/IPSec VPN device. The Authorization Code is required to generate your license key—it is not the actual license key. Device Serial Number: The device serial number is a unique 16-character code Juniper Networks uses to identify your particular Juniper Networks Firewall/IPSec VPN device when generating license keys. You can find the device serial number at the bottom or back of the device. You can also find the serial number in the device information section in the GUI or by executing the “get system” command on the CLI.
     
  2. Make sure the device is registered. If it is not currently registered, please register the device before registering the subscription authorization code. Products and subscription authorization codes can be registered at http://tools.juniper.net/subreg/
     
  3. Confirm that your device has Internet connectivity. Retrieve the subscription license key on the device. You can do this in one of three ways:
    • WebUI: Click the Retrieve Subscriptions Now button from the Configuration > Update > ScreenOS/Keys page.
    • CLI: Run the following command: exec license-key update
    • NSM: On the main menu, select Devices > Entitlement > Get Entitlement from entitlement server > Choose a device

You must reset the device after the key has been loaded.
