Update License via REST returns code 415

Martin Baltuhin

I have several host licenses to update and i want to automate it. Getting license works without issues. Setting license does not work, returns response code 415 without any text.

Using python3.

Headers:

headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Accept": "*", "Authorization": "Basic "+encoded} 

and the test get request:

response = requests.get(jira_base+"/rest/plugins/applications/1.0/installed/jira-software/license", headers=headers)

this works. 
Setting the license does not. Using same headers and this is my request.

data = {
"licenseKey": "<MyLicenseKey>"
}
headers = {"Content-Type": "application/json", "Authorization": "Basic "+encoded}
response = requests.post(jira_base+"/rest/plugins/applications/1.0/installed/jira-software/license", headers=headers, data=json.dumps(data))

 following this page: https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-retrieve-application-license-details-or-set-the-license-via-private-rest-api-in-jira-7+-934728265.html

and i get <Response [415]> without any other info.

I use the next method

def update_plugin_license(self, plugin_key, raw_license):
"""
    Update license for plugin
    :param plugin_key:
    :param raw_license:
    :return:
    """
    app_headers = {
"X-Atlassian-Token": "no-check",
        "Content-Type": "application/vnd.atl.plugins+json",
    }
    url = "rest/plugins/1.0/{plugin_key}/license".format(plugin_key=plugin_key)
    data = {"rawLicense": raw_license}
return self.put(url, data=data, headers=app_headers)
