# Hi, I was using ElasticSearch Basic with single node, now I would like have one more node, does this requirement still holds good for Basic or is there any cost involved

I am currently using Basic with just one node and wish to create one more. I wanted to know if it could be achieved with Basic or do I have to pay to get one more node.

A Basic license applies to a cluster of any size you want to run, whether that's 1 or 60 nodes.

Thank you mark for the quick response, I have read the elastic search subscription page but would you suggest any other points that I should be careful about cost when I go on cluster?
