This article provides video and text instructions on how to use the Serial Number Entitlement (SNE) tool. It also provides common uses for the tool, such as confirming JCARE entitlement information for your Juniper device:
Customers and partners can verify the base warranty and level of service entitlement for their product by using the Juniper Networks Serial Number Entitlement (SNE) tool.
1. Select the criteria you wish to search by: Contract ID or Serial Number(s)
2. Enter the Serial Number(s) or Contract ID in the space provided line by line.
3. Click on the "Get Entitlement Information" button once all the information you need has been entered.
There is also the option to upload a text data file. The .TXT file must only have one Contract ID or Serial Number per line, and you can not mix these search criteria.
The SNE tool results page will display the entitlement information, which includes these fields:
Serial No
The alphanumeric serial number that identifies the hardware, software, or license.
Product
The Juniper device part number
Product Ship Date
The date the product shipped from the Juniper manufacturing facility
Warranty Date
Date the base warranty expires
Contract ID
The support contract ID number

For service SKU details, see the 'J-Care Technical Services - Service Descriptions' on the Juniper Support Guidelines page.
