Hello,  
I am restoring snapshots from 1 cluster to another cluster. I took a snapshot from 1 cluster including indices and global state and then restore that snapshot to another cluster. Both the clusters sharing the same repository.  
Then I took another snapshot including **indices, global state and all features state** and restore the snapshot to other cluster. Also, I First deleted all the existing indices and then restored. After restoring, it is giving `Error loading repositories License is not available`  
This error is showing to all the pages of kibana.

when I am checking my Elasticsearch is running or not in localhost, it is giving the following error -

That indicates you have an authentication issue with you cluster, so I would check the details you are using to auth.
