== License Management
|
|
|
|
By default, new installations have a Basic license that never expires.
|
|
For the full list of features available at the Free and Open Basic subscription level,
|
|
refer to {subscriptions}.
|
|
|
|
To explore all of the available solutions and features, start a 30-day free trial.
|
|
You can activate a trial subscription once per major product version.
|
|
If you need more than 30 days to complete your evaluation,
|
|
request an extended trial at {extendtrial}.
|
|
|
|
To view the status of your license, start a trial, or install a new
|
|
license, open the main menu, then click *Stack Management > License Management*.

[[license-expiration]]
|
|
=== License expiration
|
|
|
|
Licenses are valid for a specific time period.
|
|
30 days before the license expiration date, {es} starts logging expiration warnings.
|
|
If monitoring is enabled, expiration warnings are displayed prominently in {kib}.
|
|
|
|
If your license expires, your subscription level reverts to Basic and
|
|
you will no longer be able to use https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[Platinum or Enterprise features].

[[update-license]]
|
|
=== Update your license
|
|
|
|
Licenses are provided as a _JSON_ file and have an effective date and an expiration date.
|
|
You cannot install a new license before its effective date.
|
|
License updates take effect immediately and do not require restarting {es}.
|
|
|
|
You can update your license from *Stack Management > License Management* or through the
|
|
{ref}/update-license.html[update license API].
