The set temp_license command generates and installs a temporary 60-day license for a fully functional NIOS appliance and IBOS (Infoblox Orchestration Server). Depending on the appliance model, the list of temporary licenses varies. To view the list of licenses installed on a NIOS appliance, use the show license command. For more information about licenses, see Managing Licenses.
