Hi,
I was given a trial license by the elastic team and now it has expired and I would like to revert back to the basic license to use the monitoring feature as it seems after the trial license expired the monitoring also stopped working.
I was unable to find info on reverting to basic license on the web.
Many thanks,

Hey,
I believe moderator is the only best person to guide on this. Why don't you ping him.

Please don't ping people a few minutes after you've asked a question. These boards are monitored by multiple people and most questions are answered in a timely fashion without needing to message people directly.
You install a basic license the same way you install any other license: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-license.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-license.html)
If you need a new basic license you can get that here: [https://register.elastic.co/](https://register.elastic.co/)

I haven't yet - I was only about to follow advice given.
Thanks for the info, will submit a registration.
