# Issue a protected setup bundle

`POST /licenses/bundle`

Issues a license and returns a protected setup bundle. When `requestId`
is supplied, recipient key and platform certificate data come from
the imported license request. When `requestId` is omitted, the portal
creates the recipient keypair, certificate, and license in one
operation and places the activation files in the protected bundle.

## Request body

- IssueLicenseArgs
  - `requestId` string — Existing imported request to issue against. Omit for issuer-created direct bundle issuance.
  - `customerPartyId` string
  - `softwarePartyId` string
  - `installationId` string — Existing installation id when issuing against a pre-registered deployment. Direct setup-bundle issuance without `requestId` generates a new installation id.
  - `templateId` string
  - `profileId` string
  - `product` string, required
  - `edition` string, required
  - `features` string[]
  - `quotas` LongMap
  - `gatePolicy` LicenseGatePolicy

      - `enabled` string[]
      - `disabled` string[]
    - `commands` LicenseGateRules
      - `enabled` string[]
      - `disabled` string[]
  - `validFrom` string
  - `expiresAt` string
  - `installationBaseDomain` string — Optional deployment base domain for direct issuer-created setup bundles. Omit to issue a domain-agnostic license.
  - `platformDomainRoots` string[] — Optional allowed platform domain roots for direct issuer-created setup bundles. Empty means any base domain.
