Please don't use pastebin, just include the config here. We don't want to go off to other sites in order to see your question.
I suspect you configured the license type _after_ you had already started ES, so it had already generated a Basic license.
Check
```auto
GET /_xpack/license
```
It will probably indicate that you have a "basic" license.
See the doc below for instructions on starting a trial after you have already generated a basic license.
