Hello Elastic Team,

We are mid-way through an urgent **Proof of Concept (POC)** involving a **self-hosted** deployment, specifically focusing on validating the **Kibana Machine Learning (ML) module**.

Our trial license for Elasticsearch/Kibana has **unfortunately just expired**. We require a few extra days to complete the necessary stress testing and final validation of our ML pipeline before our internal sign-off.

We previously used the official extension form ([https://www.elastic.co/trialextension](https://www.elastic.co/trialextension)) several days ago but have not yet received a confirmation or extension.

We can provide the necessary account details (like the email used for registration) via **Direct Message (DM)** to a verified Elastic staff member.

Thank you for understanding our need for discretion and for your quick help.

Sincerely,
