Hi Can you try if Elasticsearch also returns this response if you try this request directly on server via curl? Thx & Best, Matthias ---

I did a little research. I installed OSS version of Kibana (kibana-oss-7.5.1-windows) and it works. Know I have other questions: 1. I can use normal kibana? Only restricted version? 2. Why elastic has so strong limitations? Even Kibana dashboard is limited: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/4/2422dd80c95b213bdc1de5820188494821d12179.png) 3. is any way to use normal kibana even with license restrictions?

1. so you managed to make the licensed kibana to connect to elasticsearch? but what was slow? the start up process? 2. OSS version is limited, license basic adds more features, while still free. licenses are necessary because of business developments 3. It should, since it works with OSS, I can't see a reason, why it shouldn't work with the licensed version best, Matthias ---

Hi Matthias, When I run kibana.bat It takes about two minutes to start the process. The problem is that in automatic mode (through the create Windows service) the service does not start due to a timeout. I solved the problem by changing the registry value for ServicesPipeTimeout. But it is uncomfortable to know that something does not work without advanced configuration. The same problem for logstash, it will not run from "Windows service automatic start" because of timeout error. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/0/6019bfd51eb25bb63db3cd768aceb8f3bc007064.png) ---
