Junos OS

I have a question regarding license keys for an MX router. I loaded a new activated license key into my MX router using the command

set system license keys key "JUNOS_TEST_LIC_FEAT xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx xxxxxx"

I installed the key so that we can activate two additional on board 10G interfaces the current license only allows 2. When I run  the command show configuration system license I see 2 License keys listed and when I run the command show system license it shows that I have one license installed which is the original license that only allows the 2 ports. I looked up managing multiple licenses and read this article

Managing Licenses

I wanted to be clear about this code for multiple licenses:

It  appears that I need to run the set system license keys key "key_1" command and then repeat using "key_2"  but this didn't make sense to just enter set system license keys key "key_1" by itself but I would think if I had to include the actual key that would have been illustrated.  Also I don't believe this will require any downtime based on the reading so is that correct? Will the MX need to be rebooted to upgrade the license? Any information would be appreciated.

What work is installing keys under main > prompt, with

request system licence add terminal​

and not within the configuration (from where you should delete these statements).

Now thanks to you we're now sure that managing licence keys within the configuration is implemented in the doc but not in the code :) What was the MX/JunOS?

It is an MX104 with Junos 17.3R3.10
