hi all,
i followed these instructions:
[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/v5.0.0-alpha4-docs/installing-xpack.html#xpack-enabling](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/v5.0.0-alpha4-docs/installing-xpack.html#xpack-enabling)
to install x-pack receive the error:
> Login is currently disabled because the license could not be determined
this is rhel7, elastic and kibana installed from rpm.
the two nodes show:
```
[root@node100 elasticsearch]# /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin list
x-pack
[root@node100 elasticsearch]# /usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-plugin list
x-pack@5.0.0-alpha4-SNAPSHOT
[root@node101 Linux]# /usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/elasticsearch-plugin list
x-pack
[root@node101 Linux]# /usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-plugin list
x-pack@5.0.0-alpha4-SNAPSHOT
```
elastic.yml has the following settings on both hosts:
> xpack.security.enabled: false
> action.auto\_create\_index: .security,.monitoring\*,.watches,.triggered\_watches,.watcher-history\*
even so, after i restart kibana and elastic i see the message " Login is currently disabled because the license could not be determined. " and i cannot interact with the Username or Password fields
it's a two node cluster:
"\_nodes" : {
"total" : 2,
"successful" : 2,
"failed" : 0
a similar problem in another thread was resolved by installing x-pack on all hosts in the cluster but i don't think that is my problem here. any ideas?
thank you

When you start ES and KB, does it show something like `loaded plugin [x-pack]` in the logs?
