HI,

I had kibana node up and running, when i'm trying to log on node it is throwing me following error.  
 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/d/a/da6f9cf684ff802d9404cb9e55f4ed614323398f.png)

there is no issue with license and checked with Elastic search, it is up and running.

help would be appreciated.

Thank you !!

It looks like your license has expired. [This page](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/license-expiration.html) describes what happens when a license expires.

Do you see the correct license if you [view it through the API](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/listing-licenses.html)?
