Hi,

Does anyone knows if there's a trial license for making elastic alerting available? I'm not able to evaluate the alerting feature with the 'basic' license type. I'm running elasticsearch 6.4.3.

Thanks.

There is indeed a 30-day trial available! If you just have an Elasticsearch cluster, you can use the [Start Trial API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/start-trial.html) to start the trial, or if you are running Kibana as well, you can [start the trial from the Management tab](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/6.6/managing-licenses.html).
