I've downloaded Splunk from the website. But it's the trial version. I want the free version. How do I install the free license? Do I need to wait until the trial expires? |

When the trial expires, Splunk will automatically prompt you to get a trial extension, or convert to Free. However, if you’re ready to go to Splunk Free right away: Go to Manager (from any app) -> License
Down in the text area of the license page, you’ll see text for “switch to a Free Splunk at any time” When you click that, you’ll go to the license switcher that will turn your Splunk into a Free Splunk. Note however, you must be running Splunk 4.0.5 or later for the free version. If you are currently using 4.0.4 or earlier, you must first upgrade in order to get the Free version. Enjoy! If you are more of a command line guy you can copy the $SPLUNK_HOMEetcsplunk-free.license to $SPLUNK_HOMEetcsplunk.license and restart Splunk

Dude, your images point to broken links. I removed them for now, feel free to add them back once you have the right URLs.
