- If you try to configure a feature that is not licensed, you will receive syslog messages saying that you are using a feature that is licensable and that you do not possess a license for the feature. If you try to commit configuration changes for a feature that is not licensed, you will receive a commit warning saying that you have exceeded the allowed license limit for the feature. The feature will commit and be usable, but this action violates EULA agreement.
- On QFX5100 and QFX5110, there is no separate license for Virtual Chassis like there is for Virtual Chassis Fabric.
- Premium Feature Licenses (PFL) include the Base License Features. Advanced Feature Licenses (AFL) include the Base and Premium License Features.

Understanding Junos Fusion Licenses
New deployments for Multichassis link aggregation groups (MC-LAG) or Ethernet VPN (EVPN) based Junos Fusion Data Center are not recommended.
Starting with Junos OS Release 17.2R1, you need to install a Junos Fusion license in addition to any other feature licenses that you install to track and activate certain QFX5100-48SH and QFX5100-48TH models that are shipped with satellite software. These models can only be used as satellite devices. For these models, you need to install a Junos Fusion license in addition to any other feature licenses that you install. See Table 80 on page 207 for a list of satellite devices that require Junos Fusion licenses.
You do not need Junos Fusion licenses for satellite device models that were purchased as Junos OSbased top-of-rack switches.
Install the Junos Fusion licenses on the aggregation device because the aggregation device is the single point of management in a Junos Fusion. If your Junos Fusion is operating in a topology with multiple aggregation devices, you only need to install the licenses on one aggregation device because the license keys are synchronized between the two aggregation devices.
You can install a single-pack license to activate one satellite device, or you can install multi-pack licenses, which can activate up to 128 satellite devices. If the number of satellite devices in a Junos Fusion exceeds the number of Junos Fusion licenses you have installed, the satellite devices are provisioned, but the system will issue a warning saying that there is a license limit violation. If the satellite device does not have a corresponding Junos Fusion license installed, the satellite device is provisioned, but the system will issue a warning.
Table 5 lists the supported aggregation and satellite devices as well as the model numbers of the Junos Fusion license packs.
For information about how to purchase a software license, contact your Juniper Networks sales representative. For information on standard Junos OS feature licenses, see Table 2.

Disaggregated Software Feature Licenses on QFX5200 Switches
The disaggregated software feature licenses are only applicable for QFX5200-32C devices. For QFX5200-48Y devices, the base software features are included with the device. Additional licenses are required only for premium and advanced features.
The Junos OS software is disaggregated from the hardware. With disaggregated Junos OS, you can purchase the following feature licenses, which are available on a perpetual basis:
- Junos Base Software (JBS) license:
Includes basic layer 2 switching, basic layer 3 routing, multicast, automation, programmability, Zero Touch Provisioning (ZTP) and basic monitoring.
You must purchase the JBS license to use basic functions, but you do not need to install the license key in Junos OS Release 15.1X53-D30. JBS basic functions work with this release without installing the license key. However, you will need to install the license key in a future release of Junos OS to be determined, so make sure to retain the authorization code you received from the license portal to generate a license key for the JBS license. If the license is not installed, the system triggers the log messages.
- Junos Advanced Software (JAS) license:
Includes features supported in JBS license and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), Intermediate Systemto-Intermediate System (IS-IS), and Virtual Extensible Local Area Network (VXLAN). You need to install the license key to use these features.
- Junos Premium Software (JPS) license:
- Includes features supported in JAS license and Multi-protocol Label Switching (MPLS)
feature set.
You need to install the license key to use these features.
For information about how to purchase a software feature license, contact your Juniper Networks sales representative.
| License SKU | Description | Number of Licenses Required | QFX Devices Supported |
|---|---|---|---|
| QFX5000-35-JBS | Junos base software (JBS) license | One per switch | QFX5200-32C |
Software Features That Require Licenses on the QFX5200-32C Switch
The standard Junos OS software shipped on the hardware platform for QFX5200-32C switch does not include a perpetual base license.
You must purchase the perpetual base license on the disaggregated Junos OS feature licenses on the QFX5200-32C. This license is valid for the life of the hardware platform.
For information about how to purchase any software license, contact your Juniper Networks sales representative, or an approved Juniper Partner.
If you try to configure a feature that is not licensed, you will receive syslog messages saying that you are using a feature that is licensable and that you do not possess a license for the feature. If you try to commit configuration changes for a feature that is not licensed, you will receive a commit warning saying that you have exceeded the allowed license limit for the feature. The feature will commit and be usable, but this action violates EULA agreement.
Premium Feature Licenses (PFL) include the Base License Features. Advanced Feature Licenses (AFL) include the Base and Premium License Features.
Use the QFX5000-35-JBS SKU for Junos base software (JBS) licenses.
Generating License Keys
Before generating the license keys for a device:
- Purchase the required licenses for the device. See Table 2.
- Note down the authorization code in the e-mail you received from Juniper Networks when you purchased the license. Determine the serial number of the device. For instructions, see Download and Activate Your Software.
When you purchase a Junos OS software feature license for a device, 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 device’s serial number) for the device, and then add the license key on the device.
