How many beats (winlog) I can connect after Trail License expired ? The problem is I dont see events from newly configured beats starting from moment when license has expired. Is my issue related to license or I am doing something wrong ? Regards, Maxim ---

You should check the logs for Winlogbeat to help determine the cause. By default they are in `C:\ProgramData\winlogbeat`. As long as you have minimally have the free Basic license Winlogbeat will ingest data directly to Elasticsearch. You can can use [`POST /_license/start_basic`](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.5/start-basic.html%60) to setup a basic license on your cluster. ---
