Hi there, I would like to know if is necessary a paid license for the ELK standalone stack (or any of your components) in order to install it (on local infrastructure, not cloud) on premise pod of (Redhat) Openshift ?.

Thank you,

F r a n c o . -

If you want to use the Elastic products and run them on containers within openshift, you can without any license or with the basic license.  
See the [subscriptions page](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) for more details about the included features.

If you want an orchestration layer with the Elastic stack, then you can use ECK.  
See more on this [blog post](https://www.elastic.co/blog/introducing-elastic-cloud-on-kubernetes-the-elasticsearch-operator-and-beyond).

If you want to use the ECK solution with advanced features, then you'll need the Enterprise subscription.  
You can check the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/current/k8s-overview.html).
