The basic license only enables the free features in x-pack. The other features are paid features and will require a subscription.

Hey,

I do not fully understand your problem. If you only got a basic license, then watcher, security and graph will be disabled - those features are only enabled for subscription customers, who get their own licenses.

The trial license (which has all of those features enabled) is only valid for 30 days though, then parts of those features will be disabled as well.

Hope this helps.
