There is a short re-certification process that includes a remote EOL/ 
EOS report based on information you provide to Juniper and then an  
onsite inspection to check the current condition and to check for  
existing damage to the gear. Once that certification process is  
complete, the gear can go under maintenance contract. You would work  
with a Juniper account rep to set up that inspection appointment.
