I believe that full logs would tell more but it's most likely because of bootstrap checks.

Please read https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/bootstrap-checks.html

This says that you must remove the license plugin and reinstall it.

This URL Trying https://download.elastic.co/elasticsearch/release/org/elasticsearch/plugin/license/2.4.6/license-2.4.6.zip ... is valid on my side.

You need to check why it's not from your machine. May be a proxy?
