Hi!
Topic says it all. I'm trying to run a query to aggregate geo\_shape field on geohash\_grid. However, getting an error about non-compliant license:
```json
{
"type": "security_exception",
"reason": "current license is non-compliant for [geohash_grid aggregation on geo_shape fields]",
"license.expired.feature": "geohash_grid aggregation on geo_shape fields"
}
```
Where can I find information about this restriction? And is there a way to to bypass it? I tried googling it, but found nothing. Thanks!
I'm using Elasticsearch `8.0.0`.

Hi @Pyppe
The Feature / Subscription Level can be found here.
> **[Subscriptions | Elastic Stack Products & Support | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions)**

> See subscription levels, pricing, and tiered features for on-prem deployments of the Elastic Stack (Elasticsearch Kibana, Beats, and Logstash), Elastic Cloud, and Elastic Cloud Enterprise.
Those geo aggregations are a commercial licensed feature.

Please do not attempt to bypass the subscription/license as that is a violation of the license agreement.
You can try the trial license under Stack Management - License and decide if the value is there for you to purchase a license or perhaps to run it in Elastic Cloud.

The "bypass" would be to use Elastic Cloud, as it'd include that feature by default 🙂
