In order to make use of the Elasticsearch SQL ODBC Driver, the server must have Elasticsearch SQL installed and running with the valid license.

Check to make sure your Elastic cluster has a valid license. For the license info see: [Subscriptions | Elastic Stack Products & Support | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions)
