The `set`` ``temp_license`` `command generates and installs a temporary 60-day license for a fully functional NIOS appliance and IBOS (Infoblox Orchestration Server). Depending on the appliance model, the list of temporary licenses varies. To view the list of licenses installed on a NIOS appliance, use the [*<span style="color: #0000ff">show license</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios86/pages/35886591) command. For more information about licenses, see *[Managing Licenses](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios86/pages/1103396983)*.  
Infoblox supports cloud API calls to set temporary licenses for **Threat** **Protection** **(Software** **add-on)** and **Threat** **Protection** **Update** licenses.
