I have a distributed Spring application running on Windows. I'm using Filebeat to ship data to a server where I have Elastic Search, Logstash and Kibana running.

Internally, I've installed Filebeat using the msi installer on my computer. Can I distribute a copy of the ZIP file with the filebeat binaries within my application? Or I have to download it manually and configure on each client...

Who can help me? I don't know a lot about how software licenses work.  
Thanks 🙂
