==== Description
|
|
|
|
The `start trial` API enables you to start a 30-day trial, which gives access to
|
|
all subscription features.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: You are allowed to initiate a trial only if your cluster has not already
|
|
activated a trial for the current major product 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, request an extended trial at {extendtrial}.
|
|
|
|
To check the status of your trial, use <<get-trial-status>>.
|
|
|
|
For more information about features and subscriptions, see
|
|
https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions.
|
|
|
|
==== Authorization
|
|
|
|
You must have `manage` cluster privileges to use this API.
|
|
For more information, see
|
|
<<security-privileges>>.
