Can't seem to find this issue anywhere. We're trying to update our license and it fails with this error:
curl -XPUT "http://:9200/\_license" -d @elasticsearch-license.json
{"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"exception","reason":"Unknown license version found, please upgrade all nodes to the latest elasticsearch-license plugin"}],"type":"exception","reason":"Unknown license version found, please upgrade all nodes to the latest elasticsearch-license plugin"},"status":500}
ES and all plugins are 2.4.5 including the license version.

What is the output from `_cat/plugins?v`?
