When running Beats master or 6.7.0 against one of our test clusters, we got an error like this one:

could not extract license information from the server response: encoding/hex: invalid byte: U+0074 't']

We've tracked it down to the fact that the license.uid in our development license contains a t character, so it's not valid hex. From what I understand, real customer licenses don't have these issue, and should only be hex, but it's probably better to just treat it as a string, to avoid such issues in the future.

@tsg does that mean the test cluster in question don't have a valid license?

valid UUID.

Would it be possible to use a hex UUID for the platinum license? There are multiple places that check the validity of the license code, so it might be safer to always adhere to a proper hex UUID - e.g. map tile server checks it, and the tile license checker relies on it too. There could be other places that I am not aware of that could also cause issues.
