Hi ,  
6.3.  
I got the trial. I was upgrading the ELK Version from 6.2. The x-pack trial license is shipped with the new version right?  
So was not clear about the security module. Got it by adding the config in elasticsearch.yml.  
Please correct if I am wrong!  
Thanks

6.3 comes with a Basic license by default. This does not include Security.

You can start a Trial license at any time via Kibana.

In 6.3 all features are not enabled by default . After the installation of ES and kibana , we can enable it through kibana.

Goto kibana . You can activate 1 month trial with full features.

Kibana -\> Management-\> License Management -\> Select trial license and enable it
