Please don't post images of text as they are hard to read, may not display correctly for everyone, and are not searchable.

Instead, paste the text and format it with `</>` icon or pairs of triple backticks (```), and check the preview window to make sure it's properly formatted before posting it. This makes it more likely that your question will receive a useful answer.

It would be great if you could update your post to solve this.

Thank you for your response,  
i noted a elasticsearch server.log and it did mention about,  
either enable xpack.security.transport.ssh.enabled or xpack.security.enabled  
ideally the problem was with the basic and trial licenses  
thanks @dadoonet
