ELK version: 5.5.1

I restart one of my ES node, and the ES cluster turns red and can't be accessed.

[security_exception] current license is non-compliant for [security], with { license.expired.feature="security" }

what is wrong........I have updated my license to basic a free days ago.

The Basic license doesn't support the Security feature, so you'll need to disable Security in elasticsearch.yml and kibana.yml with xpack.security.enabled: false

This is documented in https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/installing-xpack.html#xpack-enabling

Thanks tsullivan, resolved by restarting kibana nodes, maybe it is a coincidence, and I do not think it is necessary to set this parameter xpack.security.enabled: false in config file, as you said the basic license do not support security...
