Hi,

we are running elasticsearch 5.2.1 version and our x-pack license was expired. so we want to update the license for one year.

We have submitted a request to get the new license, we got an email with the new license which is saying the license expires on August 07, 2021. The below is the statement.

"Thank you for using the Elastic Stack and registering for your free Basic license! This license expires on August 07, 2021."

We have renewed/updated the new license on our elasticsearch cluster, but the expiry is showing for one month. Can you please guide me here?

```auto
[root@ip-10-200-100-1 tmp]# curl -XGET -u elastic:changeme 'http://localhost:9200/_xpack/license'
{
  "license" : {
    "status" : "active",
    "uid" : "2ea23a2f-c54d-46ad-a651-e354b4ad3dd4",
    "type" : "trial",
    "issue_date" : "2020-08-06T21:48:48.721Z",
    "issue_date_in_millis" : 1596750528721,
    "expiry_date" : "2020-09-05T21:48:48.721Z",
    "expiry_date_in_millis" : 1599342528721,
    "max_nodes" : 1000,
    "issued_to" : "ELK",
    "issuer" : "elasticsearch",
    "start_date_in_millis" : -1
  }
}

```

FYI, 5.2.1 has been [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol) since 2018-06-08. You should really upgrade.
