I use free version of ELK stack and I receive message "Your trial license is expired".  
What needs to be done to renew the license? How I can resolve this issues?

Are you using Kibana to manage your license? If so you can change it there - [License Management | Kibana Guide [7.12] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/7.12/managing-licenses.html)
