hi.. i noticed this log, \_license says it is expired. i am not using marvel,logstash or kibana so does it means i cant use this cluster once license expires? i am a beginner so your help would be appreciated. TIA **LICENSE EXPIRED ON [Saturday, March 11, 2017]. IF YOU HAVE A NEW LICENSE, PLEASE** **UPDATE IT. OTHERWISE, PLEASE REACH OUT TO YOUR SUPPORT CONTACT.** ---

If you run ``` bin/elasticsearch-plugin list ``` It will list the plugins you have installed. That license expiry message is almost certainly related to the x-pack plugin. You can consult the [subscriptions page](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) to see your licensing options for x-pack and request an appropriate license for your needs. Alternatively, if you wish, you can remove x-pack with ``` bin/elasticsearch-plugin remove x-pack ``` but you are probably better off keeping x-pack and requesting a license, even if you only use the free _basic_ license. ---
