hello, i have question about using basic license

i installed on elasticsearch 6.0.0, kibana 6.0.0 x-pack plugin.  
Then i set next parameteres in configurations files:  
kibana.yml:

xpack.graph.enabled: false  
xpack.ml.enabled: false  
xpack.security.enabled: false  
xpack.reporting.enabled: true  
xpack.monitoring.enabled:true

elasticsearch.yml

xpack.ml.enabled: false  
xpack.security.enabled: false  
xpack.watcher.enabled: false  
xpack.reporting.enabled: true  
xpack.monitoring.enabled:true

after this steps, for using basic license should i register it?

If you just installed x-pack then you currently have a trial license which will expire in 30 days. To continue to use Monitoring and Reporting you would need to register and get a Basic license (free).

[https://register.elastic.co/](https://register.elastic.co/)

Then you would install that license in your cluster (to any node since it's a cluster-wide thing). Here's some instructions;
