We are using ELK to monitor Apache log. Recently I noticed that I am getting a red banner when I took Kibana dashboard. In this banner i could see this " Your trial license is currently expired. Please contact your administrator or [update your license](https://elk.nettracer.aero/app/kibana#/management/elasticsearch/license_management/upload_license) directly."  
Actually I thought it is a free version, How do I find out in which version of ELK stash am i using in my server?

You can get info about your Elasticsearch by simply doing a `GET /`. You can get license info by doing `GET /_xpack/license`.
