Did you install a Basic license in this cluster? If so, Shield will not work with this license. You can contact [info@elastic.co](mailto:info@elastic.co) to request a trial license that will enable shield. ---

i find the things cause that problem, when i install the license that [info@elastic.co](mailto:info@elastic.co) emailed to me in the centos7.0 computer then the shield also bad. 😅 ---

i just contact [info@elastic.co](mailto:info@elastic.co) to request , and then i recived a license in my email. and the license has one year valid. curl -XGET localhost:9200/\_license?pretty { "license" : { "status" : "active", "uid" : "cbcf567e-44c6-4e20-94fd-0e3fb040d91a", "type" : "basic", "issue\_date" : "2016-04-27T00:00:00.000Z", "issue\_date\_in\_millis" : 1461715200000, "expiry\_date" : "2017-06-13T23:59:59.999Z", "expiry\_date\_in\_millis" : 1497398399999, "max\_nodes" : 100, "issued\_to" : "jiang peng (china citic bank credit card center)", "issuer" : "Web Form" } } ---

It looks like you contacted them in April. I suggested you email again and ask for a trial license to test Shield. Shield will not work with the free basic license. After the trial license is over you can reinstall the basic license ---
