Hi,
I get the following message, when I go to install the update on windows7:

I used the kibana console to update the license:
> PUT \_xpack/license
> //content of the licence.json file
How can I solve from kibana console?

Hi,
Are you trying to install basic license? - If so - you need to acknowledge that you are downgrading your license. If you can run this - from your terminal - it should work.
```auto
curl -XPUT -u elastic ’http://localhost:9200/_xpack/license?acknowledge=true' -H ‘content-type: application/json’ -d @basic.json
```
Thanks,
Bhavya
