71+ === Upgrading to 6.3
72+ Starting in 6.3, the default distribution includes {xpack} with a free
73+ Basic license. If you already have a Basic license, once you upgrade to 6.3
74+ it will never expire or need to be renewed. If you have a license subscription,
75+ your license and settings are preserved when you upgrade.
76+
77+ You can perform rolling upgrades to 6.3 from OSS-only clusters running 5.6
78+ or 6.0-6.2. {xpack} Basic features will be operational once the cluster is fully
79+ upgraded.
80+
81+ If you are using {xpack} for the first time, you must explicitly enable data
82+ collection after the upgrade to use monitoring. Set
83+ `xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled` to `true` with the `_cluster/settings`
84+ API:
85+
86+ [source,json]
87+ ----------------------------------------------------------
88+ PUT /_cluster/settings
89+ {
90+ "persistent" : {
91+ "xpack.monitoring.collection.enabled" : "true"
92+ }
93+ }
94+ ----------------------------------------------------------
95+ // CONSOLE
96+
97+ To take all of the {xpack} features for a spin, you can start a 30-day trial
98+ from Kibana, or with the Start Trial API:
99+
100+ [source,json]
101+ ----------------------------------------------------------
102+ POST _xpack/license/start_trial
103+ ----------------------------------------------------------
104+ // CONSOLE
105+
106+ The 30-day trial enables you to try out the full set of Platinum features,
107+ including security, machine learning, alerting, graph capabilities, and more.
