Managing Junos OS Services Licenses with the CLI

To manage Junos OS licenses with the CLI, perform the following tasks:

• Adding New Licenses with the CLI
• Deleting a License with the CLI
• Updating New Licenses with the CLI
• Saving License Keys with the CLI

Adding New Licenses with the CLI

To add a new license key to the device with the CLI:

1. Enter operational mode in the CLI.
2. Enter one of the following CLI commands:
   • To add a license key from a file or URL, enter the following command, specifying the filename or the URL where the key is located:
     request system license add filename | url

     Use the filename option to activate a perpetual license directly on the device. (Most feature licenses are perpetual.)

     Use the url option to send a subscription-based license key entitlement (such as UTM) to the Juniper Networks licensing server for authorization. If authorized, the server downloads the license to the device and activates it.

   • To add a license key from the terminal, enter the following command:
     request system license add terminal
3. When prompted, enter the license key, separating multiple license keys with a blank line.

   If the license key you enter is invalid, an error is generated when you press Ctrl-D to exit license entry mode.

   If you added the SRX100 Memory Upgrade license, the device reboots immediately and comes back up as a high-memory device.

Deleting a License with the CLI

To delete a license key from the device with the CLI:

1. Enter operational mode in the CLI.
2. Enter the following command for each license, specifying the license ID. You can delete only one license at a time.
   request system license delete license-id

   If you deleted the SRX100 Memory Upgrade license, the device reboots immediately and comes back up as a low-memory device.

     You can only use this command to update subscription-based licenses (such as UTM).

   • To automatically update the trial license keys, enter the following command:
     request system license update trial
