Course: Elasticsearch Engineer (On-Demand)  
Version: 2025  
Question: In Lab 7.4 (Searchable Snapshots), step 7 says "In the **Cold phase** section, toggle on the switch to enable **Convert to fully-mounted index** and set the **Snapshot repository** to `snap-repo`"

However, in Kibana2, that switch is disabled and there is a message: To create a searchable snapshot an enterprise license is required. Therefore, it is not possible to complete the lab.

How can this be fixed?

I was able to resolve this in Kibana2 by navigating to Stack Management -\> License Management and selecting the Trial License option.
