Hi

Im building Kibana from [GitHub - elastic/kibana at v7.4.2](https://github.com/elastic/kibana/tree/v7.4.2). Will that basic license expire anytime?

Regards  
Ram

When I set to right time, its working fine. But Im concerned whether this could be as issue for customers years later or is it just Kibana ensuring time is proper, so i can ignore this safely?

Im building Kibana from GitHub. Im using 7.4.2 Kibana
