Get Trial Status API

This API enables you to check the status of your trial license.

Request

GET _xpack/license/trial_status

Description

If a license is not already registered for the cluster, one is generated when the nodes start. By default, this is a 30-day trial license that gives access to all X-Pack features.

You are allowed to initiate a trial license only if your cluster has not already activated a trial license for the current major X-Pack version. For example, if you have already activated a trial for v6.0, you cannot start a new trial until v7.0. You can, however, contact [email protected] to request an extended trial license.

For more information about the different types of licenses, see https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions.

Authorization

You must have monitor cluster privileges to use this API. For more information, see Security Privileges.
