I'm working on writing a play to update the license key. Get and delete works well, but when I put the license I got from the get it throws this error.

{  
"errors": [{  
"code": "license.invalid\_license",  
"message": "Invalid license: null"  
}]  
}

I added this to the get return to match the docs.

{  
"license": {  
"cluster\_licenses": [  
{  
"license" : {}  
}  
],  
"expiry\_date\_in\_millis": 1581185762350,  
...

Looks as though I need a value for what I added to the JSON. Am I correct?
