Hi team,  
I am not able to update my 1 year free license though i already have registered for kibana to run but it shows 'Login is disable your license had expired'. I tried it with my already downloaded license file(.json).But unable to update still getting same message .

the command i used is curl -XGET -u elastic:changeme '[http://localhost:9200/\_xpack/license](http://localhost:9200/_xpack/license)' -d'  
{  
...............  
..............  
...............  
}'

The API to update the license needs to be a `PUT`, not a `GET`.
