Question

How is licensing for the IBM Cloud vSRX Gateway offering handled?

Answer

Answer
vSRX base and advanced licensing
The vSRX is ordered and deployed with the necessary license keys to operate. Advanced licensing is currently available only directly from Juniper Networks. Licenses can be procured from the Juniper Networks License Management System (LMS)
Adding a New License Key from the CLI
You can add a license key from a local file, from a remote URL, or from the terminal. To install a license from the CLI, do one of the following:
Use the `request system license add` operational mode command to either add the license from a local file or remote URL that contains the license key, or to manually paste the license key in the terminal.

user@vsrx> `request system license add terminal`

[Type ^D at a new line to end input, enter blank line between each license key]

E413XXXX57 aaaaaa bbbbbb cccccc dddddd eeeeee ffffff
cccccc bbbbbb dddddd aaaaaa ffffff aaaaa
aaaaaa bbbbbb cccccc dddddd eeeeee ffffff
cccccc bbbbbb dddddd aaaaaa ffffff

E413XXXX57: successfully added

add license complete (no errors)

NOTE: You can save the license key to a file and upload the file to the vSRX file system through FTP or Secure Copy (SCP), and then use the`request system license add file-name` command to install the license.

Or, optionally, use the `show system license` command to view details of the licenses.

root@host> `show system license`

The license key is installed and activated on the vSRX instance.
