Hi,

I am use the Docker of Elasticsearch in my production enviromnent but when I started the cluster, we receive this message:

```
 License [will expire] on [Sunday, April 23, 2017]. If you have a new license, please update it.
 Otherwise, please reach out to your support contact.
 
 Commercial plugins operate with reduced functionality on license expiration:
 - security
  - Cluster health, cluster stats and indices stats operations are blocked
  - All data operations (read and write) continue to work
 - watcher
  - PUT / GET watch APIs are disabled, DELETE watch API continues to work
  - Watches execute and write to the history
  - The actions of the watches don't execute
 - monitoring
  - The agent will stop collecting cluster and indices metrics
  - The agent will stop automatically cleaning indices older than [xpack.monitoring.history.duration]
 - graph
  - Graph explore APIs are disabled

```

My Elasticsearch will stop after Sunday, April 23, 2017?

This is not a license for Elasticsearch, which is free open source Apache-licensed application. This is the license for X-Pack plugin for Elasticsearch, which is a commercial product that requires a license. Please see [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/docker.html) for more information.
