## License Key Update

## Image Key Update

You need an image key to be able to download new images to your device. By default, your device comes with an image key already installed. ScreenOS image files have a digital signature. Juniper Networks digital signature guarantees the authenticity and integrity of the firmware you download and use on your security device.

This function is only useful when you need to load a new image key; for example, if the signature key is compromised and Juniper sends you a new image key.

### To Update the Image Key
