When elastic server is down (not the pod) caused by ending trial license how can I remove the trial license from the pod and start elastic?

```auto

Seems the proces is still running but no response on port 9200

You can revert to the basic licence by deleting the trial licence secret.

```auto
kubectl delete secret -l 'license.k8s.elastic.co/type=enterprise-trial' -n elastic-system

```

Hi Charith

I thought the license is installed in the Elasticsearch database which is not accessible.  
I can't find a secret with the label [license.k8s.elastic.co](http://license.k8s.elastic.co) or type enterprise-trial

```auto
[lpc-cicd-kube.config ~]$ for d in `k get secret -n l12m-elastic |awk '{print $1}' |grep -v NAME` ; do k describe secret $d -n l12m-elastic| grep license ; done

How did you enable the trial in the first place? If you followed the instructions in [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-licensing.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-licensing.html), the secret would have been created in the `elastic-system` namespace -- which is the default namespace where the operator is installed.

</div>

In that case, you should be able to revert to basic using the Kibana licence management UI as well ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.6/managing-licenses.html#update-license](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.6/managing-licenses.html#update-license)). Did you experience any issues with that approach? What is the version of Kibana and Elasticsearch you are running with ECK?

</div>

Thats the problem, the Kibana license management UI gives a permission error, all the GET, DELETE \_license gives no output and an error with curl.

elastic server is still running bu no reponse on port 9200 (see the errors in the beginning of this post)

version 7.4.2

That's very odd. Only health and stats API calls should be blocked once the licence expires ([https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.6/managing-licenses.html#expiration-security](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.6/managing-licenses.html#expiration-security)). If the node does not respond to any call at all, something else must be wrong. Can you see any errors (apart from the security exceptions) in [Elasticsearch logs](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-troubleshooting.html#k8s-get-elasticsearch-logs) or the [operator log](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-troubleshooting.html#k8s-get-eck-logs)?

yes very odd, restart seems to crash kibana aswell with the errors:

I am baffled by why your Elasticsearch node is not responding at all. I tried to re-create your issue by creating a cluster, starting a trial, and then deleting the licence. I did see an exception similar to yours in the log but issuing the following curl request still returned an error message:

```auto
curl -k -XGET -u "elastic:$(kubectl get secret quickstart-es-elastic-user -o=go-template='{{ .data.elastic | base64decode}}')" 'https://localhost:9200/_cat/health'

```

```auto
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"security_exception","reason":"current license is non-compliant for [security]","license.expired.feature":"security"}],"type":"security_exception","reason":"current license is non-compliant for [security]","license.expired.feature":"security"},"status":403}

```

Have you tried sending requests to other nodes in the cluster to see if the same thing happens?

If the nodes are responding, you should be able to revert to basic by issuing the `start_basic` API call. [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/start-basic.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.6/start-basic.html)

I'm able to remove the license but a restart off the pods keeps giving the same license errors, anythin else I will have to remove?
