And the question is: is the QFX5200 platform that newer platform which has license limits enforced? It seems limits currently are "soft" as in previous platforms according to vendor's documentation: "Note: 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."

Um, you do realise that all the major vendors (including that well Known vendor) have people on this list ? Sending a question about taking advantage of said vendors light handed approach to licencing to this list is somewhat less than subtle ?
I think his use of the word "trick" is what triggered your firewall :-).
He could easily re-phrase the question as "Is there any risk with running BGP on the QFX5200 with the license warning"?
Juniper already know that a lot of operators run their kit this way. Their only recourse is to enforce license limits in software, and we are seeing that with later releases + newer platforms.
