I had used ECK to install elasticsearch version 7.9 and successfully upgraded to 7.10. I just attempted to upgrade again to 7.11 and am getting the error "unsupported\_distribution". I never setup any licensing, so unless this is done automatically during cluster creation, do I need to do this after the fact? Did something change recently around this?

Hi Grant,

This is a known issue that 7.11 doesn't work with previous versions of ECK.

Please upgrade to ECK [1.4.0](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/1.4/release-notes-1.4.0.html), [1.3.2](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/1.3/release-highlights-1.3.2.html) or [1.2.2](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/cloud-on-k8s/1.2/release-highlights-1.2.2.html).
