When you install the default distribution of {kib}, you receive a basic license
with no expiration date. For the full list of free features that are included in
the basic license, refer to https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions[the subscription page].

Is this rendered as "refer to subscriptions"? Personally, I think "refer to the subscriptions page" sounds clearer.

It resolves to the URL (i.e. "refer to https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions"). We don't have style guidelines for using URLs vs titles, but I tend to like using the URL for "external" links like that.

Cool, thanks for explaining!


If you want to try out the full set of platinum features, you can activate a
30-day trial license. To view the
status of your license, start a trial, or install a new license, open the menu, then go to *Stack Management > {es} > License Management*.

NOTE: You can start a trial only if your cluster has not already activated a
trial license for the current major product version. For example, if you have
already activated a trial for 6.0, you cannot start a new trial until
7.0. You can, however, contact `info@elastic.co` to request an extended trial
license.
7.0. You can, however, request an extended trial at {extendtrial}.

When you activate a new license level, new features appear in *Stack Management*.

Yup, good call. I'll update it after #70900 is merged.


At the end of the trial period, the platinum features operate in a
<<license-expiration,degraded mode>>. You can revert to a basic license,
extend the trial, or purchase a subscription.

TIP: If {security-features} are enabled, unless you have a trial license,
you must configure Transport Layer Security (TLS) in {es}.
