Meaning

The output shows a list of the licenses installed on the device and how they are used. Verify the following information:

• Each license is present. Features are listed in ascending alphanumeric order by license name. The number of licenses is shown in the third column. Verify that the appropriate number of licenses are installed.
• The number of used licenses matches the number of configured features. If a licensed feature is configured, the feature is considered used. The sample output shows that the BGP route reflection feature is configured.
• The expiration information for the license is correct. For Junos OS, licenses can be either permanent or valid until a specified date.
