If you have a license from 2018 or earlier, you might receive a warning that your cluster license is about to expire. Don’t panic, it isn’t really. Elastic Cloud Enterprise manages the cluster licenses so that you don’t have to. In rare cases, such as when a cluster is overloaded, it can take longer for Elastic Cloud Enterprise to reapply the cluster license. If you have a license from 2019 and later, you’ll receive a warning only when your full platform license is about to expire, which you’ll need to renew.
