Licensing
- Juniper Agile Licensing (vSRX)—
Starting in Junos OS Release 21.1R1, we’re moving toward supporting license-based software features. We now use Juniper Agile Licensing to support soft enforcement for virtual CPU (vCPU) usage on vSRX. With soft enforcement, you can use more vCPUs than the number of vCPU licenses you are entitled to use. However, if you do that, the device generates an alarm. You can see the list of alarms at System Log Explorer.
Juniper Agile Licensing provides simplified and centralized license administration and deployment. You can use Juniper Agile Licensing to install and manage licenses for hardware and software features.
Table 1 describes the licensing support for vSRX.

Juniper Agile Licensing.
Juniper Agile Licensing provides simplified and centralized license administration and deployment. You can use Juniper Agile Licensing to install and manage licenses for hardware and software features.
Juniper Agile Licensing supports soft enforcement and hard enforcement of hardware and software feature licenses.
-
With soft enforcement, if you configure a feature without a license, Junos OS displays a warning when you commit the configuration. However, the feature remains operational. In addition, Junos OS generates periodic alarms indicating that you need the license to use the feature. You can see the list of alarms at System Log Explorer.
-
With hard enforcement, if you configure a feature without a license, Junos OS displays a warning when you commit the configuration. The feature is not operational until the license is installed. In addition, Junos OS generates periodic alarms indicating that you need the license to use the feature. You can see the list of alarms at System Log Explorer.
