Hi,

I've been able to install my license on my ES nodes but I have a dedicated Logstash node that I'd like to install my license to and the method of the ES nodes isn't working. My steps:

1. Create license.json on LS machine with license information.
2. Change logstash.yml http.port and bind address: [172.XX.XX.XXX:9601](http://172.XX.XX.XXX:9601)
3. Send curl -XPUT -u elastic '[http://172.XX.XX.XXX:9601/\_xpack/license](http://172.XX.XX.XXX:9601/_xpack/license)' -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d @license
4. Enter password and get  
{"path":"/\_xpack/license","status":404,"error":{"message":"Not Found"}}

I'm assuming this means that the logstash REST doesn't have the \_xpack endpoint. So how do I install the license then?

You only need to install the license in Elasticsearch 🙂
