Generating and Uploading the Junos Space License Key File

The Junos Space software provides a default, 60-day trial license. After 60 days, the use of the Junos Space software expires except for the Upload License command. The administrator must activate the software with the Juniper Networks License Key to regain use of the Junos Space software. Within two weeks of the license expiration date, a license expiration warning is displayed when users log into Junos Space and from the About Junos Space page.

Junos Space license management involves a two-step process:

1. Generating the license key file. Juniper Networks uses a license management system (LMS) to manage the deployment of the Junos Space product—appliances, connection points, connections, and applications. When you order Junos Space, Juniper Networks LMS sends an e-mail with an authorization code or serial number and instructions on how to obtain a license key.
2. Uploading the license key using the Junos Space Administration workspace user interface. The system administrator must upload a license key file in the Administration Manage Licenses user interface to license the Junos Space product and activate the configuration ordered.

This procedure includes the following topics:
