Cross Cluster Replication error: current license is non-compliant

[karaki (Rich Karaki)]

Following this Post, I get pretty far but then hit this error. I tried disabling xPack. Any ideas?

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/xpack-ccr.html

Cross-Datacenter Replication with Elasticsearch Cross-Cluster Replication

I'm assuming but want to clarify this means we need a Platinum license?

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"security_exception","reason":"current license is non-compliant for [ccr]","license.expired.feature":"ccr"}],"type":"security_exception","reason":"current license is non-compliant for [ccr]","license.expired.feature":"ccr"},"status":403}

Additional question: Is is possible for the replication master to be version 7.x (ie in the example the us-cluster being 7.x) and the Japan-cluster being ES 6.8?
