Generating the License Keys for a QFabric System

When you purchase a Junos OS software feature license for a QFabric system, you receive an e-mail containing an authorization code for the feature license from Juniper Networks. You can use the authorization code to generate a unique license key (a combination of the authorization code and the QFabric system ID ) for the QFabric system, and then add the license key on the QFabric system.

Before generating the license keys for a QFabric system:

• Purchase the required licenses for the QFabric system. See Software Features That Require Licenses on the QFX Series.
• Note down the authorization code in the e-mail you received from Juniper Networks when you purchased the license.
• Perform the initial setup of the QFabric system on the Director group. See Performing the QFabric System Initial Setup on a QFX3100 Director Group.
• Log in to the QFabric system, issue the show version command, and note down the software serial number and QFabric system ID for the QFabric system.
