### How to disable paid features
Switch the value of Elasticsearch's `xpack.license.self_generated.type` setting from `trial` to `basic` (see [License
settings][license-settings]).
You can cancel an ongoing trial before its expiry date — and thus revert to a basic license — either from the [License
Management][license-mngmt] panel of Kibana, or using Elasticsearch's `start_basic` [Licensing API][license-apis]. Please
note that the second option is the only way to recover access to Kibana if the license isn't either switched to `basic`
or upgraded before the trial's expiry date.
You can also cancel an ongoing trial before its expiry date — and thus revert to a basic license — either from the
[License Management][license-mngmt] panel of Kibana, or using Elasticsearch's [Licensing APIs][license-apis].
Changing the license type by switching the value of Elasticsearch's `xpack.license.self_generated.type` setting from
`trial` to `basic` (see [License settings][license-settings]) will only work **if done prior to the initial setup.**

methods described in the first paragraph.
