Juniper OLIVE Vmware

The Olive (Olea europaea) is a species of small tree in the family Oleaceae, native to coastal areas of the eastern Mediterranean region. The natural wild Olive is a small tree or shrub to 8 m tall with rather straggling growth and thorny branches. The leaves are opposite, oblong pointed, 4-10 cm long and 1-3 cm broad, dark greyish-green above and, in the young state, hoary beneath with whitish scales. The small white flowers, with four-cleft calyx and corolla, two stamens and bifid stigma, are borne generally on the last year's wood, in racemes springing from the axils of the leaves. The fruit in the wild plant is small drupe 1-2 cm long, and the fleshy pericarp, which gives the cultivated olive its economic value, is comparatively thin.

Juniper's official position is that Olive does not exist. Considering that Olive is an unsupported and unsupportable platform using "free" (aka illegally licensed) software, this is not an unreasonable official position. Olive is essentially a hackers platform, with absolutely no support of any kind, and it is not suitable for any type of commercial use. If you are in any doubt, or if you are not able to figure it out, you should invest in a low-cost platform such as J-Series instead.

It is also important to remember that Olive exists because Juniper allows it to exist, and is a testament to the mutual respect between the extremely knowledgeable developer and user bases. If the Olive platform became widely abused, Juniper could easily add additional software checks to prevent it from working. Please do not abuse this feature by doing stupid things like contacting JTAC for support on an Olive, or selling illegal copies of the software as "router simulators". This type of activity is likely to have serious legal consequences and/or provoke a justified response from Juniper, so just don't do it.
