Set license issue with rest/plugins/1.0/{pluginKey}/license

[Shirley Tsai]

All,

I'm looking for a solution to update the plugin license, I learn below article which it can set the license for Jira software/servicedesk/core, it's very useful for me.

https://confluence.atlassian.com/jirakb/how-to-retrieve-application-license-details-or-set-the-license-via-private-rest-api-in-jira-7+-934728265.html?_ga=2.57725353.225961834.1588033245-1404324419.1573778045

I also would like the same way to update the plugin license, but I encounter an issue and got "upm.plugin.license.error.invalid.update".

How do I use the correct license name/field in the Request Body for the plugin? Do we have any related KB as this article?

REST API
rest/plugins/1.0/{pluginKey}/license

Method
PUT

Parameter
pluginKey: com.eazybi.jira.plugins.eazybi-jira-key

Request Body
{
"licenseKey": xxx
}

Response
{
"subCode": "upm.plugin.license.error.invalid.update"
}

Thanks,
Shirley

Hello, @Shirley Tsai. 

You should use the following request body

{
  "rawLicense":"license key here"
}

 and Content-Type: application/vnd.atl.plugins+json

Hi @Volodymyr Havryliuk

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm glad of your reply. At the beginning, I'm were finding the way and it's so hard.  Now, I already figure out how to use this REST API and implement it to update add-on licenses via Ansible playbook as well.

- name: Update the license of add-on
  uri:
    url: "https://{{ alias_name }}/jira/rest/plugins/1.0/{{ item.name }}-key/license"
    method: PUT
    user: account
    password: "{{ password}}"
    body: '{ "rawLicense":"{{ item.license }}"}'
    headers:
      Content-Type: "application/vnd.atl.plugins+json"
    body_format: json
    force_basic_auth: yes
    return_content: yes
    status_code: 200
  with_items:
     - { name: '{{ pluginkeys[0] }}', license: '{{ licenses[0] }}' }

Hi,I also want to update plugin license  by using  REST API. But the result is  :

"upm.plugin.license.error.invalid.license"

Hi Chunyuan,

Do you use Curl command or REST API from Jira Admin? Could you provide your command?

Thanks,
Shirley

in help of future lost souls, updating plugin license with curl:

curl -H "Content-Type: application/vnd.atl.plugins+json" -H "X-Atlassian-Token: no-check" -u $USERNAME:$PASSWORD -X PUT https://baseurl/rest/plugins/1.0/$PLUGIN_KEY-key/license -d {\"rawLicense\":\"licensewithnospaces\"}

 Please note the escape chars on the curl request body, and the -key in the url, after the plugin key, this is not part of the key(!?). No docs for UPM is terrible :/
