You can use cloud-init, an open-source package used for initial configuration to specify some settings for your new vNIOS for OCI instance. In this guide, we will use cloud-init to set necessary temporary licences for the vNIOS instance.

1. Click on **Advanced Options**.

2. In **Management** of Advanced Options, under **Initialization Script** you will see options for cloud-init.

3. Select **Paste cloud-init script**.

4. In the Cloud-init script text box, paste the following:

**#infoblox-config**

**temp_license: nios IB-V926 enterprise dns dhcp cloud**

**remote_console_enabled: y**

*Note: This will apply temporary licenses for the Grid, NIOS model CP-V2205 virtual appliance, cloud platform, and DNS. For additional information on cloud-init configuration available for vNIOS instances, refer to NIOS documentation at **[https://docs.infoblox.com](https://docs.infoblox.com)**.*
