Hi everyone,
I tried to update my license form trial to my platinum one. I was able to update the license on my production ES5.6 cluster, but I want to run some test on ES6.0 and when I try to upload the license I get this error:
```
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"illegal_state_exception","reason":"Can not upgrade to a production license unless TLS is configured or security is disabled"}],"type":"illegal_state_exception","reason":"Can not upgrade to a production license unless TLS is configured or security is disabled"},"status":500}
```
I followed the official documentation [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.0/installing-license.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.0/installing-license.html).
Can anyone shed some light on this error?
Cheers,

By setting up
```
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
```
you can update the license
