Command i used to add the trial license:
curl -XPUT '[http://es-master:9200/\_xpack/license](http://es-master:9200/_xpack/license)' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @license.json
i Only added tial license to my master node and once i add the trial license it exits i am running in elastic search cluster with master and data nodes is there a documentation on how to setup elastic cluster with xpack trial license

Please use the code button `` to format data like logs, it makes it much easier to read.
You don't need to apply a trial license from 6.3.0 onwards, it comes with a basic license enabled.

That suggests that something is asking Elasticsearch to stop, Elasticsearch cannot just stop itself.

I set the log level to debug and i see this error `org.elasticsearch.ElasticsearchSecurityException: missing authentication token for REST request [/] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.security.support.Exceptions.authenticationError(Exceptions.java:24) ~[x-pack-core-6.3.0.jar:6.3.0] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.core.security.authc.DefaultAuthenticationFailureHandler.missingToken(DefaultAuthenticationFailureHandler.java:57) ~[x-pack-core-6.3.0.jar:6.3.0] at org.elasticsearch.xpack.security.authc.AuthenticationService$AuditableRestRequest.anonymousAccessDenied(AuthenticationService.java:586) ~[x-pack-security-6.3.0.jar:6.3.0]`

I wanted to use trial license instead of basic license since security futures are not available in basic license
