Basically, the main question is in the title. I registered here [https://license.elastic.co/registration/](https://license.elastic.co/registration/) and got the email with the link to download the license. Only there is no 1.x version. In the Email next to the 1.x version it says "Elasticsearch 1.x -- Use license code '1010' to register". Where do I use that license code? In one forum I saw someone use it like this: [https://license.elastic.co/registration/download/1010](https://license.elastic.co/registration/download/1010)  
But it just says "The license has not been found. Please make sure you're using the correct URL."  
So is it still possible to get a basic license for Elasticsearch v1.x?

Basic license did not exist for 1.7. Which features are you looking for?

The license would be for Watcher 1.0. To use Watcher, I installed a trial license, that expires in 1 month.

Watcher is not part of the basic license so would require commercial license irrespective of version.

Yes. Be advised that Elasticsearch 1.7 has been end-of-life for quite some time so Is probably no longer supported.
