Apply basic license or remove trial licence from x-pack 5.4

Hi, I have installed elasticsearch 5.4.0 self-managed version, and i have downloaded x-pack 5.4.0 and installed this plugin.
Now after 30 days i am getting not-compliant error and is there any way to get rid of this instead of setting xpack.security: false.
I want to apply basic to the licence, is it possible ? how can i overcome this ?

@harshav-dev how did you install Elasticsearch 5.4.0? 5.4.0 went end of life two years ago so I would recommend deploying a newer version, preferably latest.

With 5.4.0, you need to contact Elastic for a basic license and apply it to the cluster. Please note that for 5.4.0, this is not a perpetual license and there are not security features in the basic license for 5.4.0 to secure the cluster i.e. basic authentication. For this, you'll need at least 6.8.0 or 7.1.0 with a basic license. The template always deploys with a trial license from the Azure Marketplace, but this can be reverted to a basic license. From the CLI, the template can be deployed with either basic or trial license.
