Juniper Networks devices require a license to operate some features. You can view the licenses for devices connected to Network Director.
To view the license for a Juniper Networks device on your network:
The Licenses page for that object is displayed with the fields listed in Table 245.
Table 245: Viewing Licenses with Network Director
Field | Description |
|---|---|
Feature Name | Name of the licensed SKU or feature. It can be used to look up the license with Juniper Networks. Not all devices support this. |
License Count | Number of times an item has been licensed. This value can have contributions from more than one licensed SKU or feature. Alternatively, it can be 1, no matter how many times it has been licensed. |
Used Count | Number of times the feature is used. For some types of licenses, the license count will be 1, no matter how many times it is used. For capacity-based licensable items, if infringement is supported, the license count can exceed the given count, which has a corresponding effect on the need count. |
Need Count | Number of times the feature is used without a license. Not all devices can provide this information. |
Given Count | Number of instances of the feature that are provided by default. |
Note: If a device does not have a license, a blank page is displayed with the message, No license is installed on this device. If you are sure the device has a license, try resynchronizing the device before displaying the license again.
