You should not need a license for MOST features to work, for example L3 Routing, EVPN, etc. It depend a little on the exact platform and feature/function. MACSec is one where you “may” need a license to activate, to test/etc. In general, currently licenses are not required for most features to

Richard- Sorry if this is off topic, but what's the use case for Base license on an MX? Is it just to align the name of the licensing with EX and the ilk? Are there significant customers using hardware as whitebox? We've been Juniper customer since the m40 days and always routed with them.
