Based on this [https://www.elastic.co/blog/doubling-down-on-open](https://www.elastic.co/blog/doubling-down-on-open) and [https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/open](https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack/open) I was expecting to see XPack in the base product
I have ELK 6.3.0 and don't see the xpack settings mentioned [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/current/installing-xpack.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/current/installing-xpack.html)
_X-Pack are free, such as monitoring, tile maps, Grok Debugger, and Search Profiler..._. What about Graph and ML , is it free or Elastic License ?
To make sure I downloaded 6.3.2 , and don't see it in there either. What am I missing ?
Below is my \_xpack from 6.3.0:
```

They are bundled in the default distribution but are still licensed as per historic methods.
You're in a basic license, so they are not enabled.

The sample config file does not include every possible setting.
If you need to set something that isn't there, you just add it yourself.

Thanks for responding. Went back to the documentation and am unclear about how to enable Graphs. Based on this, I SHOULD be able to graphs started : [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/current/xpack-settings.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/current/xpack-settings.html).
Questions: 1) Can i use graph with basic installation ?
2) How do I enable graphs ?
3) Can this done on standalone versions ?

[_Graph_](https://www.elastic.co/products/stack/graph) is a feature in Elasticsearch under a platinum (or 30 day trial) license. It is primarily focused on exploring the relationships between data stored in Elasticsearch.
[_Visualisations_](https://www.elastic.co/products/kibana) are part of Kibana, available free in the base (OSS) product. These show graphical representations of your Elasticsearch data.

You need a platinum or trial license to use _Graph_. You can use Kibana visualisations on any installation.

_Graph_ will be enabled by default if you have a license that supports it.
Kibana visualisations require an installation of Kibana.

I'm not sure what you mean by that question.

thanks , that clarifies it. I was struggling with trying to enable graphs on a "basic" license. The information from Shay ([https://www.elastic.co/blog/doubling-down-on-open](https://www.elastic.co/blog/doubling-down-on-open)) leads towards it is available for all users.

He was pretty clear in there that the code is open, but it's not free.
