===============================================
Elasticsearch can read indices created in the *previous major version*.
Older indices must be reindexed or deleted. Elasticsearch 6.x
can use indices created in Elasticsearch 5.x, but not those created in
Elasticsearch 2.x or before. Elasticsearch 5.x can use indices created in
Elasticsearch 2.x, but not those created in 1.x or before.
Older indices must be reindexed or deleted. Elasticsearch 6.n
can use indices created in Elasticsearch 5.n, but not those created in
Elasticsearch 2.n or before. Elasticsearch 5.n can use indices created in
Elasticsearch 2.n, but not those created in 1.n or before.
This also applies to indices backed up with <<modules-snapshots,snapshot
and restore>>. If an index was originally created in 2.x, it cannot be
restored to a 6.x cluster even if the snapshot was created by a 5.x cluster.

Elasticsearch nodes will fail to start if incompatible indices are present.

[[elasticsearch-upgrade-6.3]]
=== Upgrading to 6.3
Starting in 6.3, the default distribution includes {xpack} with a free
Basic license. If you already have a Basic license, once you upgrade to 6.3
it will never expire or need to be renewed. If you have a license subscription,
your license and settings are preserved when you upgrade.
You can perform rolling upgrades to 6.3 from OSS-only clusters running 5.6
or 6.0-6.2. {xpack} Basic features will be operational once the cluster is fully
upgraded.
If you are using {xpack} for the first time, you must explicitly enable data
collection after the upgrade to use monitoring. Set
`xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled` to `true` with the `_cluster/settings`
API:
[source,json]
----------------------------------------------------------
PUT /_cluster/settings
{
"persistent" : {
"xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled" : "true"
}
}
----------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
To take all of the {xpack} features for a spin, you can start a 30-day trial
from Kibana, or with the Start Trial API:
[source,json]
----------------------------------------------------------
POST _xpack/license/start_trial
----------------------------------------------------------
// CONSOLE
The 30-day trial enables you to try out the full set of Platinum features,
including security, machine learning, alerting, graph capabilities, and more.
