Understand Juniper Agile Licensing
Juniper Networks introduced the Juniper Agile Licensing soluon to provide an ecient way for
customers and partners to manage licenses for hardware and soware features. To use a licensed
feature, you need to purchase and acvate a license that corresponds to that feature and deploy that
license so that it can be ulized by the soware during normal operaon. You can administer and
manage the licenses through the Juniper Agile Licensing Portal. The portal provides an intuive task-
based user interface that provides full lifecycle management of licenses.
Juniper Agile Licensing ensures that features are used in compliance with Juniper's End User License
Agreement. There are currently two main modes for deploying licenses:
Standalone mode allows you to acvate a license on a single hardware device or soware instance.
Such a license can only be used by the instance on which it is acvated. Sharing a license with
mulple instances is not permissible.
Network mode provides a centralized system for deploying licenses to a network of devices or
soware instances. The Juniper Agile License Manager soware runs on your network and provides
a local repository of licenses that are dynamically consumed by devices as required. License Manager
also monitors license usage and can synchronize that usage data with Juniper to enable enhanced
monitoring and compliance reporng.
Support for each deployment mode varies by product. Both deployment modes enable ecient
management of both subscripon and perpetual licenses and may enable combinaons of features and
capacity depending on the specic license purchased.

Components of Juniper Agile Licensing
Figure 1 on page 4 shows the architecture of Juniper Agile Licensing.
Figure 1: Juniper Agile Licensing Workow
1. Juniper Agile Licensing Portal

The Juniper Agile Licensing Portal provides the features shown in Figure 2 on page 5.
Figure 2: Juniper Agile Licensing Portal Features
You use the Juniper Agile Licensing Portal to acvate and deliver the required license keys for
products you have purchased.
Depending on the type of license, the fulllment e-mail you receive from Juniper aer purchase of a
license indicates whether your device can be used without installing license keys. If you need to
install license keys, you can view and acvate the purchased entlements in the Agile Licensing
Portal.
NOTE: In some cases, the fulllment e-mail might include a license key, in which case it is not
necessary to manage the entlement through the Agile Licensing Portal.
2. Juniper Entlement Management System
The Juniper Agile Entlement Management System is a repository of all your entlements. It
simplies the licensing life cycle by providing a centralized license management interface that you
can access using the Agile Licensing Portal.
3. Juniper Agile License Manager
The Agile License Manager is a soware applicaon that runs on your network and provides a local
repository of licenses that are dynamically consumed by devices as required. License Manager also
monitors license usage and can synchronize that usage data with Juniper to enable enhanced
monitoring and compliance reporng.
5
NOTE: Redundancy is not used if only one Agile License Manager is congured. The
congured Agile License Manager is the leader for the operaons. Redundancy is enabled if
more than one Agile License Manager is congured. One Agile License Manager act as a
leader and all the other Agile License Managers acts as followers for all operaons.
Juniper Agile License Manager CLI
You can start and stop the Juniper Agile License Manager through the CLI. You can also access
addional administrave funcons through the CLI.

Procuring and Managing Licenses
For procuring and managing licenses, Juniper Agile Licensing comprises the following phases:
6
The phases of the licensing life cycle are shown in Figure 3 on page 7.
Figure 3: Licensing Phases
Download, install, and congure Agile License Managers (including redundancy)
You can download Juniper Agile License Manager soware from Juniper’s Soware Download Web site.
Install the Agile License Manager soware on a physical server or virtual machine on your network, and
establish a connecon to the Agile Entlement Management System through the public cloud. This
connecon is highly secure and requires only a single outgoing HTTPS port to be enabled. Aer
installing the Agile License Manager soware, congure individual Agile License Managers and Agile
License Manager Redundancy Group (for redundancy) through the Agile Licensing Portal.
Log in to the Agile Licensing Portal to create a redundancy server group, download the ngerprint
identy le, and associate the created redundancy server group with entlements.
7
Congure Network Devices to Use Agile License Managers
Juniper devices and soware applicaons dynamically obtain acve license tokens from Agile License
Managers. Congure the devices and soware applicaons to communicate with the Agile License
Managers within their network and to obtain the acve license tokens.
Purchase Licenses from Juniper Networks
Licenses to use Juniper soware are purchased through Juniper’s standard sales order process. Aer
meeng with your Sales Representave or Juniper Partner, submit a sales order to Juniper. License sales
order lines will send you an e-mail that includes your acvaon code and Soware Support Reference
Number (SSRN) relang to your entlements. The system creates entlements associated with your user
account (e-mail ID) that you can subsequently manage through the Juniper Agile Licensing Portal.
Depending on the type of license, access the Agile Licensing Portal to acvate license keys or send the
keys by e-mail to yourself.
NOTE: Keep a record of your SSRN, which is used as a proof of purchase and for support
entlement purposes.
Manage Entlements using the Agile Licensing Portal
You use the informaon from the fulllment e-mail to acvate your entlements. This process generates
soware license acvaon keys (license keys) that you can install on devices directly, or automacally
synchronize to previously installed Agile License Managers.
NOTE: Some soware licenses can be only acvated, and do not generate or require a license
acvaon key to be installed on the device. Refer to the fulllment e-mail that you receive aer
purchase for this informaon.

If there is single Agile License Manager available in
the local subnet then user can use this method,
else, if there are more than one Agile License
